Latin: [i]Pelecanus[/i] sp.
JP: 伽藍鳥 [i]garanchō[/i] (cathedral bird) / ペリカン [i]perikan[/i]

Water-going birds of the family "Pelecanidae":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelican], known for their elongated beaks which support a neck pouch that enables the bird to swallow large prey. This prey is usually fish, but also occasionally amphibians, turtles, crustaceans, insects, birds, and mammals. 

Plumage is white, brown and/or grey-white among the 8 extant species, some of which sport black flight feathers. 

Pelicans date back about 30m years in the fossil record and are considered most closely related to the [[shoebill]].
