Scientists Pinpoint How A Flamingo Balances On One Leg
"Most anyone who has encountered a flamingo has probably been impressed by its signature ability to balance on a single long, spindly leg for remarkably long periods of time."
"But actually, scientists have now shown that what appears to be a feat requires almost no muscle activity from the bird."
"In fact, they found even a dead flamingo's body will naturally fall into a stable one-leg balance if positioned vertically. That research was recently published in Biology Letters."
