An ornery pelican caused quite a scene at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California on Saturday when it crashed a graduation ceremony. First it landed in the audience, bouncing around the seats that people were trying to claim as their own. It then landed on the red carpet, snapping at anyone who tried to steer it away as students about to receive their diplomas looked distracted and hesitant as to how to proceed. “Keep going, keep going!” someone from the school faculty told them. This pelican wasn’t letting anyone shoo it away or tell it what to do, and didn’t leave until it was good and ready.
