[EN/ES] Caribbean Brown Pelican

in WE ARE MOVING2 years ago (edited)

The brown Caribbean pelican is widely seen on the coasts of Cuba. This seabird is characterized by its dark brown color and its long beak. It is one of the largest birds in the region, and usually swims near the seashore to feed on fish. It's wonderful to see them fly in the blue sky of Cuba, and it's a unique experience to see them on the beach. Definitely an experience you can't miss!

El pelícano pardo del Caribe es muy visto por las costas de Cuba. Esta ave marina se caracteriza por su color marrón oscuro y su largo pico. Es una de las aves más grandes de la región, y suele nadar cerca de la orilla del mar para alimentarse de peces. Es una maravilla verlos volar en el cielo azul de Cuba, y una experiencia única verlos en la playa. ¡Definitivamente una experiencia que no te puedes perder!






These birds have a long neck and a jaw-shaped beak, which helps them filter fish and other food from the oceans. If you are near the coast, you will probably see some of these as you pass by. These birds commonly found along the Cuban coast, are 114 to 137 cm long, with their distinctive long beak having from the lower half a bag capable of storing up to 11 liters of water which it uses to hunt their prey.

They are a family of seabirds adapted for diving and swimming. These birds have wide wings to fly more easily but even so, the flight is slow and are usually used for short distances. Its caps are large and are used to store and bring small fish that trap underwater directly into its wide mouth. These birds behave mainly like social animals and form colonies to mate. Although they usually live near the water, pelicans are birds far from the ground and approach the land only to nest.

Son una familia de aves marinas adaptadas para bucear y nadar. Estas aves tienen alas amplias para volar con mayor facilidad pero aun así, el vuelo es lento y generalmente se usan para cortas distancias. Sus casqueras son grandes y se usan para almacenar y llevar directamente a su amplia boca los peces pequeños que atrapan bajo el agua. Estas aves se comportan principalmente como animales sociales y forman colonias para aparearse. Aunque suelen vivir cerca del agua, los pelícanos son aves lejanas al terreno y se acercan a la tierra solo para nidificar.

Despite being highly resistant birds, pelicans are gradually disappearing due to the human impact on their habitat and food. Let's take care of the habitat of the animals.
Taking care of the environment means protecting our habitat and that of animals and everything that surrounds us. It is important to make sure that our daily activities do not have a negative impact on them.

A pesar de ser aves altamente resistentes, los pelícanos están poco a poco desapareciendo debido al impacto humano sobre su hábitat y su alimento. Cuidemos el habitad de los animales.
Cuidar el medio ambiente significa proteger nuestro hábitat y el de los animales y todo aquello que nos rodea. Es importante asegurarnos de que nuestras actividades diarias no tengan un impacto negativo sobre en ellos.
