Pelican Package Pouch is when a pelican uses its huge natural gular pouch to carry and hide objects or small creatures. It makes sense in a way, as animals usually don't have {{Body Pocket}}s, so having a pelican in the scene could provide the quick hiding spot you are looking for in tense moments, working as a [[TreasureChestCavity living safe]]. If the pelican is on your side, it could even potentially carry the item to someone without the bad guys noticing. It is not a rare sight either to see in fiction the pelican's pouch being ''always'' filled with water, sometime even with some fishes living in there.
