Abstract

Here, we report additional evidence of Great White Pelican in the Fish River Canyon National Park, Namibia - a sighting of a pelican carcass on 2 June 2010. Our sighting was 11 weeks prior to that of Bester et al (2011), and the carcass was approximately 15 km north of their sighting, 3 km north of the Palm Springs on the Fish River Canyon hiking trail.
