The Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) is a bird in the family Pelecanidae. With a length of 160–183 cm, a mass of 7.25–15 kg and a wingspan of 245–351 cm, it is the largest of the pelican species and one of the world's largest living flying birds. It has a range spanning across much of Central Eurasia, from the Mediterranean in the west to the Taiwan Strait in the east, and from the Persian Gulf in the south to Siberia in the north. It is a short-to-medium-distance migrant between breeding and overwintering areas. Its preferred habitat is lakes, rivers, deltas and estuaries and it feeds on various fish species such as the common carp and European perch. Like many pelicans, the Dalmatian pelican is often silent, but can be vocal during the mating season, engaging in a wide range of guttural, deep vocalisations, including barks, hisses and grunts. This Dalmatian pelican in flight was photographed over the Danube Delta in Romania.
