When Body Art Takes Flight

At first glance, you might think it’s just a white pelican chilling out, but take a closer look—there’s a human twist! A talented artist transformed a person into this iconic bird using body paint and some incredible contortion skills.

Pelicans are fascinating creatures known for their distinctive large beaks and expandable throat pouches, which they use to scoop up fish. Did you know that a pelican’s beak can hold up to three times more than its stomach? This adaptation makes them superb fishermen! This body art not only captures the pelican’s unique physical traits but also highlights the precision required to turn a human form into an almost believable bird.
