From news that I read about Flamingo Scientists think they have found out how flamingos stand on one leg. We all love the image of these beautiful birds doing this. The reason why birds do this always confuses scientists. Researchers in the United States say they have discovered the secrets of this nature. A professor says a flamingo can stand on one leg for hours because of its skeleton. The hips and legs of the flamingos are in a special position that gives the bird a balance. Researchers say most of us do not know that we are moving all the time. Even as we stand still, our muscles always work to keep us straight so we do not fall. The bone position in the flamingo means the bird does not need to use so many muscles to keep still. They can save energy.
