„Flamingos-red beauty“

from the gallery of Maks Erlikh
Description:

The Old World flamingos were considered by the Ancient Egyptians to be the living representation of the god Ra,[23] while in Ancient Rome, their tongues were considered a delicacy.[24]
In the Americas, the Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped nature.[25] They placed emphasis on animals and often depicted flamingos in their art,[26] while in The Bahamas they are the national bird. Also, Andean miners have killed flamingos for their fat, believed to be a cure for tuberculosis.[27] In the United States, pink plastic flamingo statues are popular lawn ornaments.[28]
