Good morning and happy Monday.
Expect a mix of sun and cloud throughout the region today, then sun — and smoky skies – throughout the rest of the week. Temperatures are forecasted to hover in the low 30s, dipping down to the high 20s as the week goes on.
Fun fact: Flamingos bend their legs at the ankle
Picture it now: the most common image of the pink bird is while it’s balancing on one leg, with the other bent backwards.
But that part you see bending is actually not the bird’s knee.
It turns out that’s the bird’s ankle and its knee is actually inside its body, where we don’t normally see it. Scientists said part of the reason flamingos can balance on one leg so well is that once one knee is bent, all other joints snap into place and gravity does the rest by holding the bird in place.
What scientists don’t know yet though is why exactly flamingos stand on one leg.
