A portrait of a beautiful Greater American Flamingo in Florida, USA
A portrait of an American Flamingo in Florida, USA Phoenicopterus ruber The American flamingo is a large species of flamingo closely related to the greater flamingo and Chilean flamingo. It was formerly considered conspecific with the greater flamingo, but that treatment is now widely viewed as incorrect due to a lack of evidence. It is also known as the Caribbean flamingo, although it is also present in the Galápagos Islands. It is the only flamingo that naturally inhabits North America.
