The rose colored water is the result of the tiny marine invertebrate
Artemia(artemiidae).As the water in the salt ponds evaporates,
their concentration increases and the water becomes redder.
They are the main food source for Flamingos. The Beta Carotene
they contain is the reason for the Flamingos’ color. Photo from the
salt ponds in Los Colorados.
