Modern pelicans, of which there are eight species, are found on all continents except Antarctica. They primarily inhabit warm regions, though breeding ranges extend to latitudes of 45° South (Australian Pelicans in Tasmania) and 60° North (American White Pelicans in western Canada).[13] Birds of inland and coastal waters, they are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands, and inland South America, as well as from the eastern coast of South America from the mouth of the Amazon River southwards.
