Great White Pelican → Graceful Giants ● #facts @MadfullMoments ◌ EP►08
The Great White Pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) is a large, graceful water bird known for its impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 11 feet. Predominantly white with a slight pinkish hue, these pelicans boast a long, yellow bill with a large throat pouch used for catching fish. Found across southeastern Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia, great white pelicans are highly social, often seen flying in synchronized flocks or engaging in cooperative fishing strategies.
They inhabit shallow lakes, marshes, and coastal lagoons, thriving in warm, freshwater or brackish environments. Their nesting colonies are typically on islands or dense reed beds, where they lay up to three eggs, with both parents sharing incubation duties. Despite being widespread, they face threats from habitat destruction, pollution, and disturbance by human activities.
