Greater Flamingo

Photo taken by me

I think it might actually be a Caribbean/ American flamingo- it certainly looks a lot closer to that colour! Either way, this is a beautiful shot <3

No it’s just called greater because it’s better than the rest of the flamingos

strangehorse

then andean flamingos should really be called the GREATEST flamingos so jot that down, bucko

jafarsapologist

I’m sorry these are FABULOUS thank you for sharing

strangehorse

i’m so pleased you agree!!! allow me to take you on a quick journey through… flamingos

greater flamingo

tallest boys. very pale pink with bright pink legs and beak. eldritch. genuinely terrifying up close. 3/10

Caribbean flamingo

gets points for being easiest to identify. you can really see why they were named after fire when you look at these guys. unfortunately ‘caribbean’ is hard to spell and one time i saw 200 of them run at the window i was watching from in a courtship display, and i’ve never known fear like it. 5/10

chilean flamingo

a good boy?? a humble boy? just a nice, normal flamingo. bright pink knees make it easy to identify. i have no beef with chileans. 6/10

andean flamingo

precious beautiful angels. so gentle? so kind? at WWT, old or sick birds often get put in with the Andeans because they’re a lot nicer than the others and won’t harass them. recently they raised a bunch of chilean chicks and it was the cutest thing i’ve ever fucking seen. 11/10

James’s flamingo (also known as the puna flamingo)

i absolutely cannot consistently ID this bird. there is a single james’s flamingo living in the andean flock at Slimbridge and i can only ID him like ‘that one has a slightly more pink bum’. then again, his name is Mr James, and he’s the origin of this picture

which is one of my favourite things to ever exist, so 10/10 for him

Lesser flamingo

look at this fucking demon bird. i spent nearly a year of my life studying these fuckers and all i learned is that they probably sleep at night time. there’s a flock of 2.5 million of them living on a lake so burning hot and alkaline that it’d burn a human in seconds, and they don’t give a fuck. makes sense. must have pretty similar conditions to their natural habitat of Hell. they’re also only like 80cm tall? there are geese taller than these birds. they look like demons and i love them with all my heart. 15/10

Visit from William Rothberg, commissioner of the tomb expedition in Cairo, 1922.

The site of the tomb is extraordinary and unlike anything we have seen before. Preparations are being made to explore the only known entrance.

The bottom entrance of the tomb is a sight to behold. We think that it may date around 2688-2180 BC. Although, we cannot say for sure at the moment.

The faces of each statue have been destroyed. A curious sight, though not uncommon. This was usually done to the tombs of Pharaohs with bad reputations. To remove the face is to remove their memory and place in the afterlife.

A tight squeeze through one of the chambers. I managed to make it out just fine.

The chambers are massive and surprisingly well preserved. We have yet to find the Pharaoh’s chamber, but we are hopeful in finding it soon.

It was common for Pharaohs to be mummified alongside their cats. But this tomb is filled with chambers of mummified cats. Hundreds of them.

That’s not the strangest part, though. The mummified cats keep getting bigger the further into the chambers we go. Surely, there cannot actually be cats in these large sarcophagi… But I wonder. We will be taking some of them back for study.

Most unusual. It would appear that the large sarcophagi held the mummified remains of large felines, but… with heads more closely resembling that of humans.

We checked to make sure if there were any seams to show that they had been sewn together or fabricated. But there are none. My comrades and I are absolutely baffled.
