Sobre
O pato-de-crista é provavelmente extinto, com os últimos avistamentos confirmados datando de meados do século XX. Era nativo do nordeste da China, Coreia e talvez do Japão. Os machos tinham uma crista verde proeminente, corpo barrado e bico vermelho. Existem apenas quatro espécimes de museu conhecidos. Não foram confirmados avistamentos credíveis nas décadas recentes, embora ocasionalmente se afirme terem sido feitos avistamentos na Coreia do Norte.
