Because flamingos spend most of their time in water, heat is easily lost through their legs and feet. Scientific studies have suggested that flamingos often stand on one leg while resting, keeping the other leg close to the body. Which factor does this behavior regulate?

Body temperature.

The body's at the right temperature.

Water is cold.

One foot in water will lose a lot of heat from the flamingo but if the other one is close to the body, it will stay warm.

This is a way to keep the temperature regulated and prevent bad functions or failure from colder temperatures.
