Definición

Members of a genus containing eight living species of water birds distinguished by their large, elastic throat pouches. Pelicans inhabit lakes, rivers, and seacoasts in many parts of the world. They were symbols of renewed life in the Judeo-Christian stories and other folklore, due to the belief that the pelican revives or feeds its young with its own blood, which was a misconception arising from the red tip on the beak of some species.
