Zwergflamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) Rosaflamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) Stehender Flamingo Die Flamingos (Phoenicopteridae) sind die einzige Familie innerhalb der Ordnung der Phoenicopteriformes. Sie kommen in Süd-, Mittel- und Nordamerika sowie Europa, Afrika und Südwestasien vor. Der einzige Vertreter der Ordnung, dessen natürliches Verbreitungsgebiet sich auch auf Europa erstreckt, ist der Rosaflamingo. Er kommt an der Atlantikküste Spaniens und Portugals sowie entlang des Küstenbereichs des Mittelmeers sowie auf einigen Mittelmeerinseln vor. Unterschiedliche Auffassungen in der Wissenschaft führen zu einer Einteilung der Flamingos in fünf oder sechs Arten. Ihre gemeinsamen Merkmale sind das mehr oder weniger intensiv rosafarbene Gefieder sowie der hochspezialisierte Schnabel und der Zungenapparat.

Phoenicopterus is a genus of birds in the flamingo family Phoenicopteridae.
==Taxonomy== The genus Phoenicopterus was introduced in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae to accommodate a single species, the American flamingo Phoenicopterus ruber. The genus name comes from Ancient Greek φοῖνιξ (phoînix), meaning "crimson", and πτερόν (pterón), meaning "feather".
