Brown pelican

Brown pelican

The brown pelican is a bird of the pelican family that feed by diving into water. Brown pelicans are the only species to dive into the water from 9 m above to capture prey. After catching the prey and a lot of water, they tip their bill downward to drain the water before swallowing the fish. They have an extendable sac of skin at the base of their throat, which is capable of holding up to 11 liters of water, several times more than their belly.
