Thousands of flamingos inhabit the lagunas in and around the salt flats, they are by far the most common animal living here.
Flamingo fact: an adult flamingo is not naturally pink, the color of their feathers is caused by high levels of beta-carotene ((The same compound that can turn a human orange from eating too many carrots)) in their diet. In general, the pinker the flamingo, the more well-fed (and therefore healthier) it is.
