THE PELICAN REPORT
|
|
|
General Clasification
|
The white pelican is one
of the most successful fish-eating birds.
|
|
Description
|
The success is largely due to its command hunting behaviour. A group,
perhaps two dozen birds, will gather in a curved arc some distance offshore.
The birds then begin to move forward towards the shore, beating the water
furiously with their wings, driving the fish before them.
When the water is shallow enough for the birds to reach the fish, the
formation breaks up as each bird dips its bill into the water to scoop up its
meal. As the bird lifts its head, the water drains from its bill leaving the
fish which are then swallowed.
Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds, Fossils of this genus
have been found dating back 40 million years.

Many people call platypus
duckbill because this animal has a bill like duckbill. Platypus is a native Tasmania and southern and eastern Australia.
Platypus has a flat tail and
webbed feet. Its body length is 30 to 45 cm and covered with a thick, and
woolly layer of fur. Its bill is detecting prey and stirring up mud. Platypus'
eyes and head are small. It has no ears but has ability to sense sound and
light.
Platypus lives in streams,
rivers, and lakes. Female platypus usually dig burrows in the streams or river
banks. The burrows are blocked with soil to protect it from intruders and
flooding. In the other hand, male platypus does not need any burrow to stay.
