<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="anhinga-walterbolesi"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Anhinga walterbolesi was an extinct darter bird from Neogene Australia, named in honor of palaeontologist Walter Boles. A specialised freshwater piscivore, it shared the long neck and lanceolate bill characteristic of all darter birds. Its discovery extended the known temporal range of Anhingidae in Australia, informing reconstructions of Cenozoic avifaunal change.
