Pelicans can see fish beneath the surface of water from up to 60 feet in the air

Pelicans can nearly half its body weight in fish everyday

Pelicans work as a team to herd fish together then attack them at once

During times of famine, it was said, the mother pelican would draw her own blood to feed her young, and the early church quickly adopted the pelican as a symbol for the Christ

The Pelicans are the name of an empire that took over the NBA.

Pelicans can cut through a hot knife with butter.

Pelicans do not sleep. They wait.

All those facts are obvious. If you didn't know that stuff then chances are you didn't get past freshman year of high school.

Can't tell if being sarcastic or not.

If so: Willy was always a thug PoS

If not: When whales start hunting in Lake Pontchartrain, I'll change my fun fact.

the pelican is an elegant and noble creature that inhabits both water and land, depending on the time of day.

due to its wings not being like penguin wings, it can fly

pelicans are the only known mammal other than humans to become serial killers

Pontchartrain is too shallow, but orcas do live in the Gulf of Mexico.

Didn't know there were orcas in the gulf.

There are exceptions to everything though, and any larger animal will attack a smaller animal if it means protecting itself, its domain, or its affiliates.

When I say natural predators, it doesn't mean nothing eats pelicans. It means there aren't any animals that see it as viable prey to hunt regularly for food.
