A group of pelicans is called a pod. Actually, there are many other names for pelican groupings — a pouch, a scoop, a squadron or if they are fishing as a group, a fleet.
Huh, TIL

I didn't know that there was a specific term for a group of them when fishing, as opposed to just hangin out or w/e. Pretty interesting. TIL, too.
that's really cool and thank you for showing us
i would characterize myself as a strong swimmer, but heights in general and dives from heights, even relatively minor ones, have always freaked me out. my high school had a 1m springboard and i would do that, but i only did a 3m springboard once and felt like i was putting a gun to my head.
even looking up at the 10m platforms makes me feel ill.
these pelicans are nuts.
I'm going on a trip this summer and my friend wants me to go cliff diving with him out near the great lakes and showed me some pictures. I was like nah dawg I'm too old for that shit.
it's probably easier to deal with heights when you can fly
for me, even if I could fly, sorry I'm not dealing with an ocean. I'd be that pelican going out and like, trying to eat.. I dunno, smaller birds or something. fuck the ocean

The F-35 does this exact maneuver!
and unlike the WEAK pelican, the EPIC F-35 is capable of STAYING UNDER INDEFINITELY
