Hawaiian Duck

The Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana) or koloa is a species of bird in the
family Anatidae that is endemic to the large islands of Hawai'i.
Taxonomically, the koloa is closely allied with the mallard (A.
platyrhynchos). It differs in that it is monochromatic (with similarly marked
males and females) and non-migratory. As with many duck species in the genus
Anas, Hawaiian duck and mallards can interbreed and produce viable offspring,
and the koloa has previously been considered an island subspecies of the
mallard. However, all major authorities now consider this form to be a
distinct species within the mallard complex. Recent analyses indicate that
this is a distinct species that arose through ancient hybridization between
mallard and Laysan duck (Anas laysanensis). The native Hawaiian name for this
duck is koloa maoli (meaning "native duck"), or simply koloa. This species is
listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and its
population trend is decreasing. Hawaiian ducks are "opportunistic feeders."
Their diet consists of freshwater vegetation, mollusks, insects, and other
aquatic invertebrates. Specifically, they are known to consume snails, insect
larvae, earthworms, tadpoles, crayfish, mosquito larvae, mosquito fish, grass
seeds, rice, and green algae. The Hawaiian duck is a very wary bird, often
found in pairs instead of large groups. The koloa is most prominently found
residing in the tall, wetland grasses and streams near the Kohala volcano on
the main island of Hawai'i. They are very secretive birds and do not associate
with other animals much. Model and Skin: DUTCH DESIGNS, JANNICK. Text and
