(Not a) Pig

And you thought the phrase "hungry hungry" could only apply to hippos.

During lunchtime for these not-pigs at the Pelican Hideout, the birdkeeper mentioned that the pelican's mouth can effectively hold up to 40 soft drink cans worth of liquid. That's a lot of beer and would probably make for one heck of a drunk pelican.

What a capture. That's one huge gaping maw. Great timing to catch this amazing sight at feeding time. Pellicans are petty interesting birds.
