Aldabranas cabri

Aldabranas cabri is an extinct goose or duck from the Pleistocene of the Aldabra Atoll in the Indian Ocean. An island-dwelling waterfowl, it became extinct following changes in sea levels that repeatedly submerged and re-exposed the Aldabra Atoll. Named by Olson in 1975, it is one of several remarkable endemic vertebrates that evolved in isolation on this remote Indian Ocean island.
