The Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is a large waterbird known for its distinctive appearance and remarkable adaptations for aquatic life. These pelicans have long bodies, with wingspans ranging from 2 to 2.5 meters (6.6 to 8.2 feet), and they weigh between 2.75 to 5.5 kilograms (6 to 12 pounds). Their plumage varies from dark brown to grayish-brown, with white underparts and a characteristic long, broad bill with a distinctive pouch. During the breeding season, adult Brown Pelicans develop vibrant yellow head plumage and a red-orange throat pouch, which they display as part of their courtship rituals. These physical characteristics make Brown Pelicans well-suited to their coastal habitats and specialized feeding behaviors.
