## Strategies & Tips

### As a Pelican

* Pelicans must stick to water areas (or Swamps) if they want XP, given their only sources of food is located in or around bodies of water (and in the Swamp)! However, as one of only three animals that can stay underwater for long periods of time, it makes it very safe to dive deep and eat all the fish you can, making escaping from predators easier. Just pay mind to the visibility loss when you evolve, putting you at risk for getting attacked by Sharks.
* Fish vs Frogs, each has it's own benefits. Fish are numerous and generally available everywhere, but particularly in the deep ocean where there's less competition. On deep water, you escape from predators easier. Crowded servers will probably see a lot of competition in shallow waters for Fish.
* Frogs, on the other hand, are less numerous (with the exception of the Swamp), and you eat them slowly. However, they're worth significantly more XP than Fish, so it's not a bad option altogether.
	+ You can eat the Frog near the tropical Ocean, where lots of fish are there.
* You might have to compete with other Pelicans, Storks, Seagulls or Ducks for food. It's advisable to head to the Ocean biome where many, many Fish usually are present, which helps reduce competition and fights for food. Just be careful about Sharks!
	+ You can also try to go to the Swamp where there are plenty of Frogs, but keep in mind that Storks, Owls, and Ravens will be competing for the Frogs as well.
* You can stay underwater longer than any of your predators, so staying in deep water allows escape by out-diving them.
* If your predator is trying to eat you, try to drown the player. The player will either die or go back up to the surface. This will only work in the ocean, because predators will trap and kill you in shallow water. You can dive and surface faster than non-swimming animals.
	+ If you are farming in the swamp and a predator finds you, fly to the Arctic Ocean and dive deep so they can't chase you.
* If you find yourself in shallow water, use the fact that you swim quickly to evade an attack.
* If another animal is trying to get at your Fish, try to swim under them, pushing them up. This will let you get the Fish for yourself. You can also wait for the Fish to be low on health, then rush in for the kill.
	+ As for Frogs, in order to avoid getting this food stolen, eat frogs from the top instead of from the side, where it can easily be stolen. If you see someone else on top, try hitting their side knocking them off. This move is fairly precise though.
* When escaping from predators, there are some things to note:
	+ 1- Take advantage of your ability effects.
	+ 2- Don't go to the Swamp. You can get trapped by people pushing you (to get the frogs) and nearby Swamp Monsters/trollers!
	+ 3- Farm deep in the ocean. You will be safe there.

### As the predator of a Pelican

* A Pelican in shallow water will have almost no chance of escaping a predator who is able to sit on top of it.
* Pelicans can last much longer underwater than any of their predators, so don't chase a Pelican too deep or you'll end up drowning.
	+ In other words, don't even bother going after a Pelican in the Ocean.
* If a Pelican evolves, it'll lose its visibility and speed in the water (it'll still be able to hold its breath until it resurfaces though). Because of this, you can track a Pelican in the ocean and trap it when it evolves.
* Pelicans are vulnerable in the Swamp area since mud slows them down. Don't let them escape to the Arctic Ocean though.
