Pelicans have special air sacs under their skin that help them to float! 

It takes 150 pounds of fish to raise one pelican chick to adulthood. 

Pelicans have a wingspan of 9 feet (2.74 meters).

Brown Pelicans can spot a fish swimming in the ocean from 60 feet (18.29 meters) in the air. That is about the height of a 6 story building!

Archaelogists have found fossils of pelicans from 30 million years ago!
