Do you know why flamingos can stand for hours with a vacuum?

The ability to stand with a foot "against the creature" of flamingos clearly makes many people respect. But it is not natural that they can do it.

Creator created us with an even number of feet. It is a symbol of balance and stability. However, only the flamingos want to get rid of all that creature has to offer. They love to stand on one foot.

Obviously, standing with one foot is not easy, but flamingos do this very easily, even sleeping with that posture. How did they do that? All have its reasons!

Flamingos can stand on one leg because that position is actually easier for them.

In the past, it was thought that flamingos stand with one leg to keep the body warm. But according to a recent study from the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA), things are actually simpler. The reason the flamingos can stand with one foot is because that position is actually easier for them.

Like horses always sleeping, or sleeping bats in an upside-down position, the flamingos evolved to "fix" their feet, thereby saving energy.

"We believe that, instead of reducing the fatigue of muscles and or losing body temperature, flamingos stand with one leg to save energy," experts say.

To reach this conclusion, experts observed a number of flamingos in Chile. They found that birds standing on one leg were able to fly farther after a 20-minute break. They also have better balance abilities than normal birds.

Explaining this, experts believe that the key lies in the special flanged joint of the flamingos.

When the foot is in place, the leg joints are almost automatically fixed, regardless of how the shin moves. Even on the corpses of the flamingos, this mechanism still works.

The pink flaming body evolves to "fix" its feet, thereby saving energy.

"Research results show that muscle activity when standing on one leg is actually lower than when standing on two legs."

According to Dr. Caitlin Kight - a flamingo expert from Exeter University (UK), this is a very interesting study, but needs to be done on a wider scale."Although standing on one foot allows energy-saving flamingos, it is not enough to refute other theories, such as maintaining heat," he said.

"Some previous studies have shown that this bird does not stand on one leg when it gets windy, demonstrating that this is not an easy position to maintain. It has other uses, will we need to find understand more".

The study is published in Biology Letters.
