A medium-sized brown teal with pale spotting, green speculum, and a high domed forehead giving the head a distinctive shape. Found on Indonesian islands from Java and Sulawesi to Lesser Sundas. Non-migratory island species. Threatened by hunting and wetland drainage.
Mandarinente
Die Mandarinente gilt weithin als die schönste Ente der Welt. In der ostasiatischen Kultur symbolisiert sie Liebe und Treue, da sie feste Paarbindungen eingeht. Anders als die meisten Enten nistet die Mandarinente in Baumhöhlen bis zu 9 Meter über dem Boden, sodass die erst einen Tag alten Küken zu Boden springen müssen.
