The American flamingo is scarlet/coral in color with black-tipped flight feathers. Their bent beak has fringed, comb-like edges called lamellae and a thick and spiny tongue. They have a flexible neck and their long legs have webbed feet with tough skin, protecting the legs form harsh water. These animals are very social and typically live in large flocks.
