the camera just pans over soldiers, talking about different stuff. someone mentions something about flamingos, and one of the latino soldiers lean over, and does that comment :D

As far as I know, flamingos don't bite, but they love messing up hair!

These are just too cute!

This is a clip from the film Fantasia 2000.

And this is the same clip, but someone put different music to it, and it matches it so perfectly, it's scary.

Flamingos can drink hot water from geysers at temperatures that are almost boiling.

ALMOST

they are technically not dinosaurs, but a "sister group" to dinosaurs. just like dogs and cats are "sister groups" evolving from the same group of primitive predators.

pterosaurs are just as old as dinosaurs, and they share the common ancestor, but they split up in the mid triassic.

PHEW you almost got me going, but i cought myself!

mega-pterosaurs eating a baby dinosaur. mmm.

Wow, you know a lot about dinosaurs and their sister groups! I wouldn't have even thought of that!
