Phoenicopterus copei (SciiFii)

The western flamingo (Phoenicopterus copei) is a species of flamingo that originally lived in western North America during the Late Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout western United States and Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The western flamingo is a large wading bird with reddish-pink plumage. Like all flamingos, it lays a single chalky-white egg on a mud mound, between May and August; incubation until hatching takes from 28 to 32 days; both parents brood the young for a period up to 6 years when they reach sexual maturity. Their life expectancy of 40 years is one of the longest in wild non-sapient birds. Adult western flamingos are smaller on average than greater flamingos, but are one of the largest flamingos in the Americas. They measure from 120 to 145 cm (47 to 57 in) tall. The males weigh an average of 2.8 kg (6.2 lb), while females average 2.2 kg (4.9 lb). Most of its plumage is pink, differentiating adults from the much paler greater flamingo. The wing coverts are red, and the primary and secondary flight feathers are black. The bill is pink and white with an extensive black tip. The legs are entirely pink. The call is a goose-like honking. The conservation status of the western flamingo is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the western flamingo's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
