Flamingos create water tornados to trap their prey

Flamingos standing serenely in a shallow alkaline lake with heads submerged may seem to be placidly feeding, but there's a lot going on under the surface.

Flamingos conjure ‘water tornadoes’ to trap their prey
The brightly colored birds are pretty adept predators.🦩

This is so cool! Watch the video...

A pink flamingo is typically associated with a laid back lifestyle, but the way that these leggy birds with big personalities feed is anything but chill. When they dip their curved necks into the water, the birds use their feet, heads, and beaks to create swirling water tornadoes to efficiently group their prey together and slurp up them up. The findings are detailed in a study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Popular Science

Flamingos feed by inducing vortices in the water which entrain and trap benthic invertebrate prey.
