EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Australian pelicans, also known as Pelecanus conspicillatus. These magnificent birds can be found in both inland and coastal waters across Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia, and Fiji. With their impressive size, reaching up to 1.8 meters in length and boasting a wingspan of 2.5 meters, they truly command attention. In this particular shot taken in Shark Bay, Western Australia by Science Photo Library, we witness a duo of these graceful creatures gracefully swimming through the water. Their sleek bodies glide effortlessly as they navigate their aquatic habitat with ease. The Australian pelican's diet mainly consists of fish; hence it is no surprise that they are almost exclusively dependent on this food source for sustenance. As true masters of their environment, these birds have adapted perfectly to thrive in their watery surroundings. This photograph not only captures the beauty of nature but also highlights the rich biodiversity present within Australia's diverse ecosystems. It serves as a reminder of the incredible wildlife that exists beyond our everyday lives and encourages us to appreciate and protect these precious species.
