🦩 Less is more
Over 40% of the lesser flamingo population in US zoos comes from Fort Worth.
Eight lesser flamingos — a type breed that is smaller in size and darker in color — hatched at the Fort Worth Zoo last week. Despite their near-threatened status, 454 lesser flamingos have been born at the Fort Worth Zoo in total. Graduation day from the bird nursery will come this summer when visitors can see them in their habitat.
