Why it matters
The Brazilian Merganser (Mergus octosetaceus) is one of the world's most endangered waterfowl, restricted to a few isolated river systems in South America. Its distinctively pointed tail and broad wings help it navigate the fast-flowing, clear-water streams that it requires to hunt, making it a rare and vital indicator of ecosystem health.
