Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana) |
A highly endangered species that is to
be found only at a few areas on the Hawaiian Islands. The estimated
wild population is put at less than 3000 birds. Its natural habitat
is found in both fresh and salt water areas as well as boggy forests.
A slightly variable bird with some males being duller than others. The
largest threat comes from hybridisation with the Mallard. |
