They say 'fake it until you make it,' but just how far can the funny animals go? These ducks-turned-flamingos are proof that with some research and clever infiltration techniques you can be whoever you want to! As one commenter put it, 'If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a pink flamingo'… So take it as a lesson from these beautiful birds, and don't let anyone tell you that you're a duck!

Actually, this kind of animal behavior is what most waterfowls do – they stand on one leg to regulate their body temperature. That means if they get cold, the cute birds hold one leg closer to their body to warm it up and then switch legs.

Still, we must admit these images of animal camouflage are pretty FLAM-boyant, don't you think?

    He looks likes he's talking to himself saying "I am a flamingo, I am a flamingo, I am a flamingo".

    We have dozens of wild Muscovy ducks living in our neighborhood. Many of them routinely stand on one leg. There are no flamingos to influence the ducks, though there are two peacocks which frequent this area.
