Pink flamingos in Kenya lose color due to changing lake conditions

Pink flamingos in Kenya living in the Great Rift Valley are losing their bright coloration due to changing conditions in local lakes. According to Africanews, scientists link the changes to rising water levels in alkaline lakes where flamingos live. Due to heavy rains and other natural factors, the water is becoming fresher, leading to a decline in cyanobacteria—the main food source for the birds.
