Manatí Park Bavaro has been successful in its efforts to reproduce flamingos. The colony of Caribbean flamencos, Phoenicopterus ruber ruber is growing, testimony of the adaptation of the species to living conditions at the Punta Cana-Bavaro area tourism attraction. Biologist Ottenwalder says that the first mating of the flamingos was observed in spring of 1998. This spring, 21 eggs were found in 26 nests. The flamingo colony has been at the Manatí Park since November 1996.
