pelican

Pelican / Mono is a split album by the Japanese band Mono and the American band Pelican. The 4,000 copies of this LP that were produced are limited to vinyl.

Pelicans are a genus of large water birds that makes up the family Pelecanidae. They are characterised by a long beak and a large throat pouch used for catching prey and draining water from the scooped up contents before swallowing. They have predominantly pale plumage, the exceptions being the brown and Peruvian pelicans. The bills, pouches and bare facial skin of all species become brightly coloured before the breeding season. The eight living pelican species have a patchy global distribution, ranging latitudinally from the tropics to the temperate zone, though they are absent from interior South America as well as from polar regions and the open ocean.

Pélican may refer to:

• French ship Pélican (1693), a short lived ship that won the Battle of Hudson's Bay
• French ship Pélican (1702), delivered pioneer women and yellow fever to Mobile in 1704
