Tadorna ferruginea |
The Shelducks, genus Tadorna, are a group of large birds in the Tadorninae subfamily of the Anatidae, the biological family that includes the ducks and most duck-like waterfowl such as the geese and swans.
The shelducks are a group of larger, often semi-terrestrial waterfowl which can be seen as intermediate between geese (Anserinae) and ducks.bg:Ангъчи fr:Tadorna zh:麻鸭属 de:Kasarkas
