Egyptian Goose

Alopochen aegyptiaca

Description:

Pics 4-6 include a chick and pic 6 also includes a Bean Goose. The scientific name was corrected in 2004 as it should be feminine, not masculine. The ending was changed from -cus to -ca.

Habitat:

Wildlife park - roaming free but some have rings so may be "captive" but there are many of these living in the wild in this area.
