Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis)

Wow, to be honest, I can't say that I remember seeing Brown pelicans at the Dallas World Aquarium. How many do they have? How long have they had them? Where did they come from? and are they breeding them?

@UngulateNerd92 I remember there being about four on display in the last exhibit of Mundo Maya, across the Cenote from the Flamingos. This was the former Jabiru stork enclosure, I believe. They must have arrived sometime after the Jabiru storks left, but other than that I'm not sure, you'd have to ask someone more familiar with the place than me.

They replaced the Jabiru that passed away. I would expect them to be rescues and non breeding, but I don’t know that for certain

@ChunkyMunky pengopus thank you so much! This is great information! Brown pelicans are actually a great addition to that space.

@Ituri thank you, I appreciate the information. These are fair assumptions. When did their last Jabiru stork die out?
