<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="anas-marecula"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Anas marecula, the Amsterdam Duck, is an extinct duck endemic to Amsterdam Island in the southern Indian Ocean. A flightless or weakly flighted duck, it became extinct by the early 19th century after European sealers and whalers arrived and introduced cats and rats. Known from both written accounts and subfossil material, it is one of several remote island waterfowl lost to introduced predators.
