Game Informer names flamingos among the native Florida animals in Leonida, with manatees, pelicans and alligators. Rockstar's cover art caption also mentions a flamingo flying over a speedboat.

In real life, the American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) is native to Florida. Florida range: Once abundant in South Florida and the Keys but largely wiped out by 1900, it is now an uncommon visitor, with a few small groups that may live there year round. Source. Compare it with the other species on GTA 6 animals in real life.
