Scientists believe that they have found a secret how flamingos stand on one leg. We all love the image of these beautiful birds standing in water on just one leg. The reason why the birds do this has wondered scientists for decades. Researchers say they have revealed this secret. Professor YoungHui Chang says a flamingo can stand on just one leg for many hours because of its skeleton. The flamingo’s hip and leg bones are in a special shape and position that help the bird to balance. Flamingos don’t have to use their muscles a lot to do this. Another researcher, Lena Ting said, “The flamingo is very unique because it can stand still for a long time on one leg. It would be very difficult for a human to stay still without moving, even for an hour. Most of people aren’t aware of that they are moving around all the time. Even when people stand still, they actually move and use a lot of energy.” The muscles in humans’ bodies constantly change to stop them from falling over.
