A tiny flightless teal with dark brown plumage in females and males with greenish-black head. Endemic to Campbell Island, New Zealand. Nearly extinct; reintroduced after eradication of Norway rats from the island. Nocturnal; feeds on invertebrates at freshwater sources.
Trauerschwan
Der Trauerschwan galt Europäern, die glaubten, alle Schwäne seien weiß, einst als unmöglich, was ihn zu einem berühmten philosophischen Beispiel für das Scheitern induktiver Schlussfolgerungen machte. Er ist das Wappentier von Western Australia. Trauerschwäne gehen lebenslange Paarbindungen ein, und beide Elternteile teilen sich das Brüten und die Aufzucht der Jungvögel.
