Dalmatian pelican

phylum	Chordata	The Dalmatian Pelican breeds from southeastern Europe to India and China in swamps and shallow lakes. The nest is a crude heap of vegetation. The somewhat similar-looking Great White Pelican is typically slightly smaller but the largest male individuals can be essentially the same size as a typical Dalmatian. However, the Dalmatian differs from this other species in that it has curly nape feathers, grey legs and silvery-white (rather than pure white) plumage. In winter, adult pelicans of this species go from silvery-gray to a dingier brownish-gray cream color. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry. Get back to Pelicans
