PELICAN - P>@ - (Heb. kaath , sometimes translated "cormorant," as kjv@Isaiah:34:11; kjv@Zephaniah:2:14) though in the margin correctly rendered "pelican"), a voracious waterbird, found most abundantly in tropical regions. It is equal to the swan in size. (It has a flat bill fifteen inches long, and the female has under the bill a pouch capable of great distension. It is capacious enough to hold fish sufficient for the dinner of half a dozen men. The young are fed from this pouch, which is emptied of the food by pressing the pouch against the breast. The pelican’s bill has a crimson tip, and the contrast of this red tip against the white breast probably gave rise to the tradition that the bird tore her own breast to feed her young with her blood. The flesh of the pelican was forbidden to the Jews. kjv@Leviticus:11:18)
ED.) The psalmist in comparing his pitiable condition to the pelican, kjv@Psalms:102:6) probably has reference to its general aspect as it sits in apparent melancholy mood, with its bill resting on its breast.

Pelicans @ are frequently met with at the waters of Merom and the Sea of Galilee. The pelican is ranked among unclean birds kjv@Leviticus:11:18; kjv@Deuteronomy:14:17). It is of an enormous size, being about 6 feet long, with wings stretching out over 12 feet. The Hebrew name (kaath, i.e., "vomiter") of this bird is incorrectly rendered "cormorant" in the Authorized Version of kjv@Isaiah:34:11 and kjv@Zephaniah:2:14, but correctly in the Revised Version. It receives its Hebrew name from its habit of storing in its pouch large quantities of fish, which it disgorges when it feeds its young. Two species are found on the Syrian coast, the Pelicanus onocrotalus, or white pelican, and the Pelicanus crispus, or Dalmatian pelican.
