When I was a kid, I always got pelicans and toucans confused. I think it was because I was so crazy about Froot Loops, I tended to think every bird was a toucan. Who the heck isn’t crazy about Froot Loops? But now that I’ve seen this pelican of terrifying proportions, I think I’ll be able to keep the two species straight. I just hope that this particular bird doesn’t hurt the nice lady - she’s awfully close, probably closer than I’d dare.

It doesn’t even matter if “his beak can hold more than his belly can,” because both beak and belly could fit her in rather nicely.
