About Brown Teal (Anas chlorotis)

• Kingdom: Animals
• Phylum: Chordates
• Class: Birds
• Order: Anseriformes
• Family: Swans, Geese, and Ducks

The brown teal previously inhabited a diverse selection of freshwater wetlands and swamp-forest, particularly in the lowlands, but it is now found only in coastal streams, wetlands and dams near to farmland. It nests in grass bowls under thick vegetation (2). Fossil evidence even suggests that the brown teal was once found in forested areas, far from wetlands (4).
