Info from Licensor: We were walking and came upon a startled pelican. Initially, it was spooked and tried to fly away. We noticed something extra on its beak but couldn't make it out we thought it was a crab, but later discovered it was shark bait hooked onto the pelican's mouth. It came towards us as we approached it, it remained at ease the best it could as I began to push the hook out, my family attempted to calm it as it was restained. I knew it would die if we didn't get this hook out so I kept getting every last hook out and saving it.
