	Digimorph - Phoenicopterus ruber (Caribbean flamingo)
		Flamingos are easily distinguishable by their rosy or pink feathers (due to the ingestion of carotenoids in their diets), elongate necks and legs, and a conspicuously ventroflexed bill.
		Flamingos are highly social birds generally found in subtropical and tropical estuarine and briny bodies of water across Latin America, Africa, and India, in addition to numerous front lawns.
		Flamingo mouths are peculiarly built to dexterously separate water and unwanted particles from food items using a large, fatty, highly sensitive tongue with numerous fleshy spines complemented by a keeled, lamellate bill.
