Magpie Goose 🧐: The magpie goose is the sole member of the family Anseranatidae, which split from other waterfowl (like ducks, geese, and swans) over 65 million years ago. This makes it a living fossil of sorts. Native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea, the magpie goose is a key species in wetland ecosystems. It is celebrated in Indigenous Australian culture, featuring in art, stories, and as a traditional food source. #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdsofaustralia #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #abcmyphoto #australiangeographic #natgeoyourshot #ausgeo #canon #canonphotography #canonaustralia #birdphotoshow #your_best_birds #magpiegoose #serendipsanctuary
