Short Description:

The Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus) occasionally visits Pakistan, particularly in wetland areas and along the country's southern coastlines. With its impressive size and distinctive appearance, characterized by a massive bill and a conspicuous throat pouch, it stands out amidst coastal landscapes and marshes. These pelicans primarily feed on fish, amphibians, and crustaceans in large lakes, reservoirs, and marshes. While sightings in Pakistan are sporadic, conservation efforts strive to protect their habitats and ensure their continued presence in the country's ecosystems.

The distribution of the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus) in Pakistan is sporadic and limited. They are primarily found in wetland areas, particularly along the southern coastlines and some inland water bodies such as lakes, reservoirs, and marshes. Regions like Karachi, Gwadar, and other coastal areas along the Arabian Sea may occasionally host sightings of these pelicans.

The behavior of the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus) mirrors its global characteristics. These pelicans are typically observed foraging in wetland areas, where they hunt fish, amphibians, and crustaceans. They often congregate in small groups or flocks and may engage in cooperative feeding behaviors.
