Why it matters
The New Zealand Scaup, or pāpango, is the country’s only endemic diving duck and is primarily found in freshwater lakes across both the North and South Islands. Prized by ornithologists for its unique evolutionary history, this species is easily identified by its broad wings and distinctive rounded tail, which assist in its specialized pursuit of food beneath the water's surface.
