Falkland Flightless Steamer Duck – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Falkland Steamerduck, Tachyeres brachypterus, is a duck native to the Falkland Islands in the southern Atlantic Ocean. It is one of only two bird species to be endemic to the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas in Spanish), the other being Cobb’s Wren. The Falkland Steamerduck’s wings are very short (hence the scientific name: brachy = "short", and pteron = "wing"), and it is incapable of flight.
