∙ 11y agoPelicans live on or near the sea and eat lots of fish. The way they catch fish is to spot them from the air and then dive straight down into the water after them. Their long beaks open up to take in large amounts of seawater and , hopefully, fish. This is also why they have a large flap of skin beneath their beaks, to handle all of the water that comes with the fish meal. They then let the water drain out and swallow their dinner. :0
