PELICANS 
In the pelicans all the toes are connected by a web. They are 
found both in the Old World and in the New World, in tropical 
and temperate regions. They have a large bill, from the lower 
part of which hangs a large pouch, capable of great extension, 
serving as a bag to stow away fish when not eaten when caught. 
It has very regular habits; it starts out on a fishing excursion 
early in the morning, then flies to land, devours its capture, then 
sleeps, then goes out fishing again. In the evening, returning, it 
eats its prey and then goes to roost. This is the regular daily 
round of the pelican. There are several varieties at the Zoo.
