The flamingos were led inside by a member of the zoo’s staff.

Staff at the zoo are providing around-the-clock care for the facility’s 12,000 animals during Hurricane Irma.

More than 3.4 million homes in Florida are without power and large parts of the city of Miami are underwater.

Irma has been downgraded from a category three to category one storm and has winds of 85mph.

Three deaths have been reported in relation to the storm.

At least 28 people died after Irma made its way across ten Caribbean countries and territories.
