About These Birds
Schleiereule
Die Schleiereule besitzt die asymmetrischsten Ohren aller Eulen und damit das feinste Gehörsortungsvermögen im Tierreich. Sie kann Beute allein anhand von Geräuschen in völliger Dunkelheit fangen. Der markante herzförmige Gesichtsschleier der Schleiereule wirkt wie eine Parabolschüssel und leitet den Schall zu den versetzt angeordneten Ohren.
Rosaflamingo
Der Rosaflamingo ist die am weitesten verbreitete Flamingoart und einer der bekanntesten Vögel der Welt. Seine rosa Farbe stammt ausschließlich von Carotinoid-Pigmenten in seiner Nahrung aus Krebstieren und Algen. Flamingos sind gesellige Vögel, die in riesigen Kolonien brüten, die mitunter Zehntausende Individuen umfassen.
