EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a runway when you can run on water? Check out this hilarious snapshot of the DDE-90034835, also known as the Great White Pelican, showing off its unique takeoff technique in the Danube Delta! This clumsy yet dynamic bird from Eastern Europe is giving gravity a run for its money as it defies all odds and lifts itself into flight. With its dowdy appearance and awkward movements, you wouldn't expect this pelican to be such a showstopper. But here it is, spreading its wingspan wide and ready to conquer the skies above Romania's biosphere reserve. It's like watching a comedy sketch unfold right before your eyes! This funny moment captured by Martin Zwick at Fortuna Lake perfectly showcases nature's sense of humor. Who knew that an animal could have such personality? The Danube Delta wetland proves once again why it holds UNESCO World Heritage status – not only for its breathtaking beauty but also for being home to some truly entertaining creatures. So next time you're feeling weighed down by life's challenges, remember this print and let the Great White Pelican remind you to find joy in even the most unexpected places. After all, if a bird can defy gravity with style and grace (or lack thereof), surely we can overcome anything!
