English: Plate X: White Flamingoes, Red Flamingoes, The Skies They Simulate, painted by Abbott Handerson Thayer for the book Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom 1909. The image implies that flamingoes owe their colours to camouflage, a view derided by critics including Theodore Roosevelt. |
