Summary

[edit]
Description

The pelican is generally an enormous bird with some species gaining a wingspan of well over 3 meters. Other species of pelican are much smaller but these smaller species of pelican tend to live on land rather than spending their lives at sea.

There are eight different species of pelican found on every continent in the world with the exception of the Antarctic. Pelicans tend to prefer the more temperate and warmer climates to the colder ones, and pelicans are therefore most commonly found closer to the Equator.
