Greater Flamingo - Capturing Nature Print marie rohde Mola alexandriniGreater Flamingo, Phoenicopterus roseus. This flamingo skeleton was presented to the trustees of the Zoological Society of New South Wales (Taronga Zoo) in 1893. The zoo helpfully donated many bird and animal species that year, when museum funds were halved because of a severe economic depression in NSW; as a result, opportunities for obtaining specimens were extremely limited.
