Brown Pelican
The aviators of the Gator Keys.
Field Notes
COASTAL
Found nesting on bridges, piers, and rocky shorelines.
The Brown Pelican is a fixture of the Leonida coastline. While flamingos stick to the swamps, pelicans rule the open ocean and the lengthy bridges connecting Vice City to the Gator Keys.
Utilizing the advanced animal AI from Red Dead Redemption 2 , these birds don't just fly in circles. Expect to see them perched on lamp posts, diving dynamically into the water to catch fish, and fleeing in panic when players race by on jet skis.
