Pelican

A pelican has many adaptations that help it catch the fish it eats. Air pockets in its bones help the bird float. Webbed feet are perfect for paddling along the surface of the water. And that big pouch of skin under a pelican’s beak is super for scooping up a meal! A pelican may eat up to 4 pounds of fish each day!
