The following is a manual origami method for a pelican. The pelican is a large swimming bird belonging to the family Pelicanidae of the order Pelican. It is also called a gannet. Pelicans are easily recognized by the large skin pouch under their mouth. The large skin sac is formed by connecting the lower mouth shell and the skin. It can be freely expanded and contracted and is where they store food. Pelicans are as good at fishing as cormorants.
