Not only flamingo populate Solar-de-Atacama, it has enough space for other inhabitants also, and some of them quite numerous.
For example, Liolaemus Fabiani aka Yanez’s tree iguana aka Fabian’s lizard.
It is endemic and lives only in Salar-de-Atacama.
Despite limited territory, there are plenty of them. However, they are very territorial and protect a personal little piece of shore very aggressively. Fights are very common between them. It is understandable: if you found a piece of land with water and food in such severe conditions, you will protect it till you are alive.
Puna plover aka Charadrius alticola.
Baird’s sandpiper aka Calidris bairdii.
