The Pelicans symmetry is bilateral his characteristics are webbed feet, brown feathers, and a jiggly chin. 3 adaptations are, a beque to catch prey, big wings to dive into the water, and webbed feet to swim. An interesting fact about the pelican is that it makes a croaking noise almost just like a duck. Its predators are big fish and sharks and the prey are small fish and small mammals. The pelican is heterotrophic and it is endothermic.
