Did you know?
– Great White pelicans can live for up to 30 years in the wild.
– Flamingos are born grey-ish white and only turn pink because of the high volume of carotenoid pigments in the crustaceans that they eat.
– The Western Barn Owl swallows prey whole, then disgorges the prey’s hair and bones in a small pellet.
