What is the difference between male and female pelican?

Male and female pelicans are very similar in appearance, making it difficult to tell them apart. However, there are a few subtle differences that can help you to identify the sex of a pelican.

* Size: Male pelicans are typically larger than females, with an average weight of 12-18 pounds, compared to 8-12 pounds for females.

* Bill: The bill of a male pelican is typically longer and more curved than the bill of a female pelican.

* Head: The head of a male pelican is typically larger and more rounded than the head of a female pelican.

* Neck: The neck of a male pelican is typically longer and thicker than the neck of a female pelican.

In addition to these physical differences, male and female pelicans may also differ in their behavior. Male pelicans are more likely to be aggressive and territorial, while female pelicans are more likely to be docile and submissive.

Of course, these are just general tendencies and there is always some variation within a species. However, these tips can help you to better identify the sex of a pelican.
