<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="anas-kurochkini"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Anas kurochkini is an extinct duck from the Pliocene or early Pleistocene of Europe or Central Asia. Named in honor of the Russian paleornithologist Evgeny Kurochkin, it was a freshwater dabbling duck of Eurasian wetlands. It contributes to the growing record of Neogene waterfowl in Eurasia and helps document the transition between Pliocene and Pleistocene duck faunas.
