Pelicans have one of the most fascinating fishing techniques in the bird world.
• Their enormous bills
and expandable throat pouches allow them to scoop up large amounts of water along with fish. When a pelican dives into a dense school of fish, it can sometimes capture several fish in a single scoop.
Afterward, it drains the water from its pouch and swallows the fish.
• It’s an incredibly efficient feeding strategy
that makes these birds impressive hunters around rivers, lakes, and coastal waters.
