Triangular Beak

A Pink-Backed Pelican
This is a small pelican, but the wingspan is still around 2.4 m (7.9 ft) with an average weight of 5.5 kg (12 lbs).
Food is usually fish and amphibians and is usually obtained by fishing in groups.
These Pelicans also know they are good looking as they like to pose for photographs.
