Blue Duck Photos - Pictures
60 images Created 5 Oct 2010
An estimated 2500 endangered blue ducks remain in the world, which is a lot less than the kiwi! Interestingly, the blue duck is the only member of its genus and has no close relatives anywhere in the world.
The blue duck is believed to have appeared at a very early stage in evolutionary history and the species' isolation in New Zealand has resulted in it acquiring a number of unique anatomical and behavioural features.
The blue duck pics in this gallery were photographed in Fiordland National Park, along the Hollyford River.
