[flamingos squawking] The birds nest on an island
far from the shore. [mud splashing] They build mounds of mud
that raise up their eggs and so keep them just marginally cooler
than they would be at ground level. [flamingos chattering] The water surrounding the island
is so salty that predators do not venture into it. So the nests are safe. [squawking] Thirty days later,
thousands of chicks start to hatch
far from the shore. [mud splashing] They build mounds of mud
