Episode 291: Pouch of Pelicans All Creatures Podcast

One of the most charismatic seabirds has to be the Pelican. Around the world, Pelicans fly and soar near almost every shore. There are so many surprising facts about Pelicans and how they do what they do. One of the most interesting has to be that Pelicans have not changed much over the past 30 million years! Then, their large beaks with their pouches (called a gular) has to be their most defining characteristic. What else is surprising is how the Brown Pelican, much of our focus this podcast, was heading straight towards extinction. Fortunately, conservation efforts in the Americas have seen them rebound. So much so, they have come off the species endangered list. Another fun species to learn about!
