So you want to know about Bob. Not only is Bob spelled the same forwards or backwards, he is somewhat of a local legend. No, Bob isn’t as famous as, say, Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, but there is one thing that sets him apart from the rest: He is real.

You see, Bob is a one winged pelican that resides all over Zihuatanejo Bay. Bob can’t fly, can’t frolic with the other pelicans, but has survived with the help of local fishermen. We are seeking “Bob Sightings” from all our readers no matter how off the wall they may seem, photos accepted.
