Best Answer

Flamingos have long thin legs so they can see over vast stretches of land. This helps them stay alert of potential predators. Flamingos also depend on their long legs to keep their bodies upright or to bend. This allows them to easily catch prey with either their feet or bills.

Paratroopers roll to dissipate the kinetic energy associated with the fall.
