Scientists believe that they have found a se cre t how flamingos stand on one leg. We all love 
the image of these beautiful birds standing in water on just one leg. The reason why the birds 
do this has wondered scientists for decades. Researchers say they have revealed this secret. 
Professor Young-Hui Chang says a flamingo can stand on just one leg for many hours because 
of its skeleton. The flamingo’s hip and leg bones are in a special shape and position that help the 
bird to balance. Flamingos don’t have to use their muscles a lot to do this. Another researcher, 
Lena Ting said, “ The flamingo is very unique because it can stand still for a long time on one 
leg. It would be very difficult for a human to stay still without moving, even for an hour. Most 
of people aren’t aware of that they are moving around all the time. Even when people stand still, 
they actually move and use a lot of energy.” The muscles in humans’ bodies constantly change 
to stop them from falling over.

The bottom of the ocean is a cold and dark place. The Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean 
is the deepest place in the world. It is almost 11 kilometres below sea-level. In 1960, Jacques 
Piccard and Dan Walsh were the first people to go down to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. 
It is impossible for humans to dive so deep under the sea because there is too much pressure.
So Piccard and Walsh went to the bottom in a special submarine. The third person to go 
down to the Marianas Trench was a film director James Cameron in 2012. Nobody else has been 
there since then. In technical terms, the deep sea begins from 200 metres below sea-level. The 
pressure is 20 times greater than the pressure on the surface. At 1000 metres below sea-level, it 
is completely dark. At ten kilometres below the surface, the pressure is 1000 times greater than 
the pressure on the surface. But somehow, sea creatures manage to live there. Many of them 
survive by eating bits of food that fall from the surface.
