Size Comparison
Habitat Comparison
Amsterdam Duck
Historically restricted to Amsterdam Island in the southern Indian Ocean. Now extinct. Presumably inhabited the island's freshwater sources and coastal areas.
Black Swan
Lakes, rivers, swamps, and coastal waters across Australia. Also found in ornamental lakes in parks.
Song & Call Comparison
Amsterdam Duck
Extinct (EX). No recordings exist. As an Anas relative, likely gave a typical duck-like quacking call; male may have had a soft whistled note similar to other island teals.
Black Swan
Gives a musical bugling 'boo-boo-boo' in flight and softer honking on water. Less vocal than Mute Swan; produces a baying call when alarmed. Wings whistle softly in flight.
Geographic Range & Migration
Amsterdam Duck
Breeds on sub-Antarctic islands of the South Indian Ocean; disperses across the Southern Ocean when not nesting.
Black Swan
Australia, primarily in the southeast and southwest. Introduced populations in New Zealand, Japan, and western Europe.

About These Birds
Amsterdam Duck
암스테르담 오리는 인도양의 암스테르담 섬에 서식했던 날지 못하는 오리였으나, 인간 정착과 도입된 포식자들로 인해 19세기에 멸종되었습니다. 짧은 날개와 작은 체구가 특징이었습니다.
Black Swan
검은 백조는 한때 모든 백조가 흰색이라고 믿었던 유럽인들에게 불가능하다고 여겨졌으며, 귀납적 추론 실패의 유명한 철학적 예가 됩니다. 서부 오스트레일리아의 주 새입니다. 검은 백조는 평생 짝 유대를 형성하며 양 부모가 포란과 새끼 양육을 공유합니다.
