Pelican Figurine

With its large beak equipped with an extendable pouch, the pelican is one of the most easily recognizable aquatic birds. It can be observed near coastlines, lakes, and estuaries, where it fishes in groups or alone.

Amazing fact: its gular pouch can hold several liters of water, allowing it to catch fish and crustaceans in a single movement. An excellent glider, the pelican is also capable of traveling long distances by soaring, taking advantage of warm air currents. Very social, it lives in colonies and often nests in large numbers on islands or isolated shores.

This Papo figurine realistically depicts the pelican: imposing beak, detailed plumage, and slender silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories by the water, or raise children's awareness of the diversity and fascinating behaviors of aquatic birds.
