Frequently asked
How big is a pelican's pouch and what do they use it for?
A pelican's pouch can hold up to three gallons of water, which is more than their stomach can hold! They use it like a fishing net to scoop up fish and water, then drain the water out before swallowing their catch.
Where do pelicans live and what kind of habitat do they prefer?
Pelicans live on every continent except Antarctica, preferring coastal areas, lakes, and rivers. They nest in colonies on islands, cliffs, or trees near water sources where fish are abundant and predators are few.
What do pelicans eat and how do they catch their food?
Pelicans primarily eat fish, but also consume amphibians, crustaceans, and sometimes small birds. Brown pelicans dive from heights up to 60 feet, while white pelicans work together to herd fish into shallow water.
