The white pelican, known scientifically as *Pelecanus onocrotalus*, is one of the heaviest flying birds, weighing between 7 to 12 kilograms. Despite their size, they are excellent gliders and are particularly graceful in flight.

These pelicans are part of the park's diverse collection of over 1,500 animals representing 130 species. While specific details about the individual pelicans at the park, such as their names or arrival dates, are not provided, visitors can observe them in the park's naturalistic settings that aim to replicate their native habitats.

The park is committed to conservation and education, participating in various European breeding programs and reintroduction efforts. However, specific information regarding the white pelican's role in these programs at Parc Animalier de Sainte-Croix is not detailed in the available sources.
