HOHHOT,
April 25 (Xinhua) -- A small group of flamingos have recently been spotted in
north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, local forest police said
Thursday.
Five
large pink birds were spotted ambling in a lake in Dengkou County, a known spot
for migratory birds, according to the forest police, saying the birds were tall
with thick downturned bills and long and graceful necks.
The
forest police later confirmed that the large birds were flamingos, which seldom
make an appearance in north China because of its colder climate.
The
reason for the appearance of flamingos in the area is unknown. Local forest
police said they would launch an investigation into the case.
A ranger
has been dispatched to observe and monitor the birds' activity and prevent them
from being affected by human beings.
Flamingos
like warm climates. They mainly live in tropical and subtropical zones.
