THE MEDITERRANEAN FLAMINGO. 
This is the largest of the Flamingoes, being a little taller and stouter than the Rosy Flamingo of Northern Tropical America. It is restricted 
inits habitat to the Old World, and does not extend eastwards beyond Lake Baikal in Central Asia. It inhabits all parts of the Mediterranean, 
and extends its range along all the coast regions of Africa, India and Ceylon; but in Western India and Inner Africa is generally replaced 
by a smaller genus. The studies for this picture were made from specimens on the Lake of Tunis.
