There are about eight species of pelicans which are found on all continents except Antartica and all of them have a throat pouch. Many pelicans work together by forming a line to drive fish into shallow water by beating their wings on the surface. They will then scoop up the fish into their pouch, expel the water and swallow the fish. Some can hold up to 3 gallons of water in the pouch. They breath through their mouth instead on nostrils.
