Interesting Facts About Manyara National Park
Pink flamingo colonies migrate to Lake Manyara National Park from June to September each year. They prefer the mud flats, where their main food source, crustaceans, is abundant. Without this diet, their feathers would be grey-white instead of pink. The flamingos' color changes from grey as hatchlings to pink as they age due to the carotene pigment found in their food.
