General The white pelican is one of the most successful fish-
Clasification eating birds.
Description The success is largely due to its command hunting
behaviour. A group, perhaps two dozen birds, will
gather in a curved arc some distance offshore. The

beating the water furiously with their wings, driving
the fish before them.
When the water is shallow enough for the birds to

bird lifts its head, the water drains from its bill leaving
the fish which are then swallowed.
Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds, Fossils
of this genus have been found dating back 40 million
years.
