Petros (pelican) : ウィキペディア英語版
Petros (pelican)

Petros was a great white pelican, who was the official mascot of the Greek island of Mykonos.
In 1958 a wounded pelican was found off the coast of Mykonos shore by a local fisherman. The pelican was nursed to health and remained on the island supported by locals. It soon adopted the name “Petros”, as a joke between the locals, as "petro" in Greek means ''rock'', ''stone'' but metaphorically ''Old and Grumpy'' . To great disappointment by locals and tourists alike, Petros was hit by a car on 2 December 1985 and failed to recover.〔(Apopsi tis Syrou ) , 187, 23 February 2007 (Greek).〕
Subsequently, three new pelicans reside around the main town of Mykonos. One, honorifically, was given the name Petros.
