Australian pelican
Thought their appearance is somewhat similar to several other pelicans, though the Australian Pelican is considered a separate species based on it’s populations being significantly geographically isolated from other pelicans. It is found only in Australia and New Guinea, Fiji, parts of Indonesia and as a vagrant in New Zealand.
