Pelican's do have webbed feet, with 4 toes. Their bills are not necessarily shaped like nets. They have pouched bills that can hold a lot. and their face is pointed because the mother drops rocks on their bills for safety.
Pelicans are generally not aggressive animals; they tend to be social and calm, often seen in groups. However, they can exhibit defensive behavior if they feel threatened, especially when nesting or protecting their young. Their large size and powerful beaks can be intimidating, but they typically prefer to avoid confrontation. Overall, pelicans are more likely to use their size to assert dominance rather than to engage in aggression.
A pelican is a large water bird with a distinctive pouch under the beak, belonging to the bird family Pelecanidae. Along with the darters, cormorants, gannets, boobies, frigatebirds, and tropicbirds, pelicans make up the order Pelecaniformes. Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica. They occur mostly in warm regions, though breeding ranges reach 45° south (Australian Pelican, P. conspicillatus) and 60° North (American White Pelicans, P. erythrorhynchos, in western Canada).[1] Birds of inland and coastal waters, they are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands, and inland South America.

A carnivore is an animal that eats only meat, and a herbivore eats only plants. So, since a pelican's diet consist of fish, amphibians, crustaceans, and on some occasions smaller birds, it is a carnivore.
When actively feeding, brown pelicans dive into the water and trap their prey in their mouth which opens as they enter the water.
Pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica. They primarily inhabit the warmer regions reaching south into Australia and north into western Canada.
Is a pelican a carnivore or an omnivore?
