Attack of the Brown Pelican

Attack of the brown pelican





Walking along the beach in Soliman Bay Tulum, caught my attention a brown pelican who was swayed by the calm waters of the Caribbean Sea, suddenly began flying in circles, a bit of height was gained between 3 and 10 meters as went by his flight.

And suddenly he let go a dive at an angle of 45 degrees or so, before entering the water, has opened its wings and his beak in the trajectory where it is his prey, inches before contact with water Their wings were open even more, their wings at the direction to the body and neck fully extended, upon entering the water his chest receives the impact of the water.

As it opens his beak into the water to catch its prey at this time also ingests about 5 liters of water and into the water closes his beak, this whole process took two seconds and the fish at the next few minutes is going to the stomach Brown Pelican.



Have a Nice day =)
