Two male flamingos are raising an abandoned baby chick together

Curtis and Arthur have a new baby! The pair of Chilean flamingos are caring for their chick at the UK's Paignton Zoo. Experts believe the baby flamingo was hatched from an abandoned egg. Curtis and Arthur, who are both male flamingos, adopted the egg and took turns keeping it warm until it was born. While most flamingos are not endangered, the Chilean flamingo is classified as near-threatened due to habitat loss and drought.
