  • A Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) dives for food into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Brown Pelicans hunt in a unique way. They fly over bodies of water, spotting fish from as far as 50 feet (15 meters) away. Once they spot a fish, they dive, plunging into the water head first and scooping up the fish and the water around it in its large pouch. It quickly strains the water from the side of its bill and swallows the fish.

Tiny grooves on the tongue draw fluid into their mouth through a capillary action.
