Whale Eats Pelican Bird

Pelicans swim well with their short, strong legs and their feet with all four toes webbed (as in all birds placed in the order Pelecaniformes). The tail is short and square, with 20 to 24 feathers. The wings are long and have the unusually large number 30 to 35 secondary flight feathers. A layer special fibers deep in the breast muscles can hold the wings rigidly horizontal for gliding and soaring. Thus they can exploit thermals to commute over 150 km (100 miles) to feeding areas.
Pelicans rub the backs their heads on their preen glands to pick up its oily secretion, which they transfer to their plumage to waterpro it.
