Pelecanus (genus) (Pelecanidae (family), Pelecaniformes (order), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Members of a genus containing eight living species of water birds distinguished by their large, elastic throat pouches. Pelicans inhabit lakes, rivers, and seacoasts in many parts of the world. They were symbols of renewed life in the Judeo-Christian stories and other folklore, due to the belief that the pelican revives or feeds its young with its own blood, which was a misconception arising from the red tip on the beak of some species.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 屬名，包含八種現存水鳥，其特徵為大型、可伸縮的喉囊。鵜鶘棲息在世界各地的湖泊、河流與海岸。在猶太教與基督教故事以及一些民間傳說中，鵜鶘是生命更新的象徵，因為他們相信鵜鶘會用自己的血來再生或餵養子女，這是因某些物種的喙尖呈紅色而產生的誤解。 |
