Pelicans do not primarily carry water in their beaks; instead, they use their large bills to catch and store fish. Their beaks, which feature a flexible pouch, allow them to scoop up water along with their prey. Once they've captured fish, they can drain the excess water before swallowing their catch. This adaptation helps them efficiently feed in aquatic environments.
