Most living things can’t survive in soda lakes. Yet some fl amingos can. These body parts help them survive.
• Glands in their nostrils excrete, or get rid of, extra salt..
• Feathers keep heat away from their bodies.
• Thick, scaly skin protects their feet and legs from the salts and minerals in the water that can cause burns.
Steam from hot springs rises around these fl amingos.
