Campbell Teal
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.
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.
