Rowing champions 

The Dalmatian Pelican has four forward-facing webbed toes. Their oar-like feet make these birds excellent at floating.

Chaotic nursery 

The pelicans are social creatures and breed in large colonies. These soil-breeding species nest close to each other. Since the nests are only shallow hollows, the eggs often roll from one nest to the other. When nesting season is over, the young gather together in groups. Initially, the offspring are fed with pre-digested fish from the mouths of their parents.
