Caribbean Flamingo by Gazza

Caribbean flamingos live in lagoons, or lakes, where there is lots of mud and water. Flamingos use a variety of habitats: mangrove swamps, tidal flats, and sandy islands in the intertidal zone. The depth of the water is especially important, not only for feeding but for nesting. A flamingo's pink or reddish feather color comes from its diet, which is high in alpha and beta-carotene. Flamingos spend most of the day feeding, preening, resting, and bathing. They have good hearing and eyesight. In zoological settings, flamingos recognize their uniformed keepers among visitors.

Updated: November 22, 2025 by Jay to fix spacing in the animal info, to link to ZT's sounds instead of using copies, to have the preferred object's tooltip appear for females and young, to add a missing "[cCompatibleAnimals]" (but it was added where it would not affect what animals this likes and dislikes), to use the "run" animation for jumping since it does not have a jumping animation, to prevent this from crashing non-English versions of ZT, to allow ZT to check more often if the animal was hit by a tranquilizer dart, to have water animations be used in some cases where land animations were used while the animal was on water terrain, to play sounds when the animal is picked up, put down, or in a box, and to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines.
