形态与习性

The brown teal (Anas chlorotis; Māori: pāteke) is a species of dabbling duck of the genus Anas native to New Zealand. It was long considered conspecific with the flightless Auckland and Campbell teals as Anas aucklandica; the name "brown teal" has also been largely applied to that entire taxon. Common in the early years of European colonisation, the species was heavily harvested as a food source. Its numbers quickly fell, especially in the South Island, and in 1921 it became fully protected. Cap
