Dissecting with Emily - Brown pelican - biological bubble wrap

Another episode of "Dissecting with Emily"! This time, Ohio University Honors Tutorial College star sophomore Emily Caggiano and I are looking at the subcutaneous air sacs that form a layer of "biological bubble wrap" under the skin of brown pelicans. These help the birds survive plunge diving by forming something of an airbag to cushion the impact. We also discuss some of the anatomical peculiarities associated with how they rotate their bodies just before entry. This is the same poor pelican, whom we're calling Nigel in honor of Finding Nemo, who had to be euthanized at the wildlife rehab clinic in Florida. We talked about Nigel and his gular pouch in a previous episode of Dissecting with Emily:    • Dissecting with Emily - Brown Pelican - Gu...  .
