The Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus) is the largest of the eight pelican species, averaging 10-15 kg in weight, 160-190 cm in length, and over 3m in wingspan. The Dalmatian Pelican differs from the Great White Pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) in that it has curly nape feathers, grey legs and greyish-white (rather than pure white) plumage. It has a red lower mandible in the breeding season.
It breeds from southeastern Europe to Central Asia in swamps and shallow lakes.
There are around 1,000 breeding pairs in Europe, most of them in Ukraine, Russia, Greece, Romania (Danube Delta), Bulgaria and Albania (Karavasta Lagoon).
This pelican migrates short distances. In flight, it is an elegant soaring bird, with the flock moving in synchrony. The neck is then held back like a heron. As is well known, pelicans catch fish and small birds in their huge bill pouches.
Like the White Pelican, this species has declined greatly through habitat loss and persecution.
Kroeskoppelikaan in de dierentuin van Antwerpen, België
De kroeskoppelikaan (Pelcanus crispus) is de grootste van de acht pelikaansoort, gemiddeld 10 à 15 kg in gewicht, 160 à 190 cm in lengte, en meer dan 3 meter vleugelspanwijdte. Deze pelikaan verschilt van de roze pelikaan (Pelecanus onocrotalus) door de krullende nekveren, de grijze poten en het grijs-witte verenkleed (in plaats van wit-roze). In het broedseizoen is de ondersnavel rood.
De kroeskoppelikaan broedt in zuidoost Europa tot in centraal Azië in moerassen en bij ondiepe meren. Er zijn ongeveer 1.000 broedparen in Europa, de meeste van hen in Oekraïne, Rusland, Griekenland, Roemenië (Donaudelta), Bulgarije en Albanië (Karavasta Lagoon).
Het is een elegant stijgende vogel, en vliegt vaak synchroon in grote zwermen op zoek naar vissen. De hals wordt als een reiger ingetrokken. Als de pelikanen een school vissen hebben gevonden, steken ze de snavel in het water. De vissen kunnen aan de wand van de opengesperde snavels lastig ontsnappen en zitten zo in de val. Met de grote keelzak, met een inhoud van twaalf liter, scheppen ze zo vis uit het water. Met de haakvormige punt aan de snavel wordt de vis vastgehouden, die daarna in de lucht wordt gegooid, in de keelzak weer wordt opgevangen en vervolgens ingeslikt. Ook eten pelikanen kleine vogels.
Net als bij de roze pelikaan is het leefgebied voor de kroeskoppelikaan sterk kleiner geworden door overbevissing en vervolging.
