Tumblr Thread: Flamingos Are The Origin Of The Phoenix Myth

One of our favorite things about looking through animal content all day long are the incredible discoveries that we make. We learn so many unexpected things about animals through our days. Like, we learned that Vikings used to gift newlywed brides kittens, we learned that octopuses punch fish sometimes for no reason other than spite, we found out the mysteries of the Appalachian mountains, and today, we have learned about the legend of the phoenix. Did you know that the origin of the legend of the phoenix are flamingos? Yeah, neither did we. And it's so unexpectedly interesting and amazing, we simply had to share this knowledge with you. Thank you, tumblr, for providing us this content and educating us - we love to laugh and learn at the same time.
