Bird Dog! Watch this cute two-day old Dalmatian pelican chick bark like a dog

  • 9 years ago
San Diego Zoo has been busy showing off its two newest residents - two Dalmatian pelican chicks.

The two chicks, just two days and 11 days old, were born at San Diego Zoo Safari Park but the parents couldn't raise them.

The Eurasian Dalmatian pelican is one of the rarest species of pelican in the world. It is also the largest pelican and one of the largest flighted birds in the world.

A fully grown adult bird can reach up to 6 feet in length with a wingspan of nine to 11 feet.

The Dalmatian pelican is listed as vulnerable by the International UNion for Conservation of Nature. The chicks were born as part of a North American breeding program for vulnerable species. Thirty-four chicks have been hatched since 2006.
