Flamingoes display extreme behavior in relation to their habitat in Lake Magadi. On one hand, Lake Magadi is super saline and this makes it toxic to many living organisms. On the other hand, flamingoes need to feed and drink fresh water for survival. Hypersaline water is very toxic that it can even peel off human skin. For flamingoes though, this presents an opportunity characterized by minimal competition for food. They have scales and tough skin that prevents burns from the saline, hot water. Additionally, they can drink hot water and use special gland to desalinate, with the extracted salt coming out from the nasal cavity.
