Occurred on August 27, 2024 / Yanta, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China Info: The zookeeper chased after a pelican, and once he caught up, he used his legs to pin it down, then forcefully pried open the pelican's beak with his hands and pulled out a pigeon from inside. This footage was filmed by Mr. Li. The uploader said: “On August 27, 2024, my wife and I took our child to the 'Green Rabbit Botanical and Zoological Theme Park.' As we were walking through the area with pigeons and chickens, we saw a pelican run over from its area. The pelican chased the chickens and pigeons, the chickens ran away, and then the pelican swallowed a pigeon. My wife quickly went to find a zookeeper. The pelican, being smart, ran away when it saw the zookeeper. The zookeeper had to chase it several times before successfully catching it and rescuing the pigeon.”
