The image depicts a Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus) standing in an outdoor enclosure within the Irkutsk Zoo, located in Irkutsk, Russia. The pelican, centrally positioned, exhibits light gray and white plumage with noticeable ruffling on its head and neck. Its long, slender beak features a grayish-pink upper mandible and an orange-yellow lower mandible. The bird is oriented with its head facing left and its body angled slightly to the viewer's right, with its wings partially extended. The pelican stands on a multi-tiered, rough-textured gray concrete structure showing visible aggregate. Several weathered wooden branches or logs are arranged around and within this concrete base. In the mid-ground on the left, a blue peacock (Pavo cristatus) is partially visible, its iridescent blue head and upper body discernible behind the pelican's left wing and horizontal wooden elements. The background consists of a rigid green wire mesh fence with prominent yellow vertical bars. Behind this fence, further structures include wooden paneling and vertical green and white striped elements, indicative of an animal shelter or facility building. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting strong, distinct shadows from the pelican and surrounding objects onto the concrete base and background elements. No human subjects are visible.Zoo visit documented in Irkutsk, Russia
