The magpie goose (Anseranas semipalmata) is the sole living representative waterbird species of the Anseranatidae family. It is a resident breeder in northern Australia and a vagrant to southern New Guinea. This species is placed in the order Anseriformes, having the characteristic bill structure, but is considered to be distinct from the other species in this taxon. The related and extant families, Anhimidae (screamers) and Anatidae (ducks, geese, and swans), contain all the other taxa. The magpie goose is contained in the genus Anseranas and family Anseranatidae, which are monotypic now. |
