EDITORS COMMENTS
Watch out world, here I come! The Great White Pelican defies gravity and takes flight in the most unconventional way - by running on water! This hilarious snapshot captures the moment of pure awkwardness as this majestic bird tries to lift off from the Danube Delta in Romania. With its long wingspan and clumsy charm, it's hard not to giggle at this comical sight. In this dynamic shot, you can almost feel the weight of the pelican as it battles against both gravity and its own dowdy appearance. But don't be fooled by its initial clumsiness; once airborne, this European seabird becomes a true spectacle to behold. Located in the biosphere reserve of Dobrogea, also known as Dobruja, this wetland paradise provides an ideal habitat for these magnificent creatures. As a Ramsar site and UNESCO heritage spot, it's no wonder that our feathered friend chose such a picturesque location for its takeoff. So next time you're feeling weighed down by life's challenges, remember DDE-90034827 - the pelican who taught us all about determination and funny flying techniques. Let its amusing antics remind you to embrace your own unique style and never be afraid to run on water if that's what it takes to soar!
