Depicts Dalmatian pelican left, country name above, date below.

The Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) is one of the largest freshwater birds and the largest of all pelican species. It is distinguished by its curly nape feathers, massive orange bill, and silvery-white plumage, which becomes more vibrant during the breeding season. This species is found in wetlands, lakes, and rivers across southeastern Europe, Central Asia, and parts of China. Dalmatian pelicans are excellent fliers despite their large size, with a wingspan reaching up to 3.5 meters (11.5 feet). They primarily feed on fish, using their expandable throat pouch to scoop up prey. Due to habitat loss, pollution, and disturbance, the species is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. Conservation efforts focus on protecting wetlands and reducing human interference in breeding areas.
