Berlin’s zoo is mourning Ingo the Flamingo, who died at what’s believed to be the age of 75

BERLIN (AP) — The Berlin Zoo is mourning Ingo the Flamingo, its oldest resident, who died at what is thought to be 75 years of age. He had lived there since the mid-1950s but his place of origin is unclear. The zoo announced Ingo’s death at an “imposing” age in social media posts on Wednesday. It said that a ring on the bird’s leg with the inscription “Cairo, 23.6.1948” indicated what is believed to have been “his minimum age.” Ingo had lived at the zoo in what was then West Berlin since 1955, but the inscription on the ring was discovered only a few years ago.
