As we get old, we feel a little sad about losing the vigor of youth and energy of life. A few weeks back, I was in the Atlanta zoo with my kids. I learned Flamingo was borns gray as a baby. Flamingo gets pinkier, prettier, and more desirable as they get old. On that day, I realized that pink color comes from the deposition of a molecule called canthaxanthin which accumulates via their diet. Zoo-keeper made an interesting comment: "Those of you who are getting old should feel happy as getting old makes you more beautiful." At least, I find some solace!
- I am not a big fan of Zoos for various reasons, but Atlanta Zoo is one heck of a place to visit.
