Flamingos

Not that I want this to just be a collection of YouTube videos, but I just saw this episode of Nature last night about the Andes, and it is amazing. The mountains are really breathtaking, you can see them in this preview, but the best part is totally this flamingo dance. These flamingos hang out in poisonous lakes in the middle of the Andes, where the only things that can survive are them and the brine shrimp swimming in this toxic water that leeches from the volcanos.




Apparently the song is some sort of traditional Chilean folk tune, and not specifically designed to be humorous, but it succeeds nonetheless.

Anyway, for the whole show which really is great, check your local listings. And, you know, support public television.

I saw this episode! The rest of it was equally batshit and awesome.
