Lives, Habitats & Pictures of the Pelicans
Pelicans live mostly near the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean and into the central region of North America. There are two Pelicans species on the continent. The American White Pelican, which lives in freshwater and into the interior of North America and the Brown Pelican, which lives along the coasts and in the seas themselves.
The Pelicans are some of the largest birds in the world, where as the American White Pelican's wingspan can be as much as nine feet tip to tip. The Brown Pelicans dive from great heights into the water, trapping fish in their large pouches making them look quite comical.
