The full text of what is said and shown.
A flamingo sleeps for hours on one leg
Never tiring
That leg isn't working
Its knee locks on its own — a mechanical catch, zero muscle
It can doze off standing up
So much so that a lifeless flamingo, well placed, still stands
Why one leg and not two?
The colder it gets, the more they tuck it up
The cold gives the reason
Biomechanics, the permission
