2. Anas galericulata = Aix galericulata
The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a perching duck species found in East Asia. It is medium-sized, at 41–49 cm long with a 65–75 cm wingspan. It is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix. Aix is an Ancient Greek word which was used by Aristotle to refer to an unknown diving bird, and galericulata is the Latin for a wig, derived from galerum, a cap or bonnet.


1. Pelecanus crispus
The Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) is the most massive member of the pelican family (Pelecanidae), and perhaps the world's largest freshwater bird. Dalmatian pelicans are elegant soaring birds, and their flocks fly in graceful synchrony. Pelecanus crispus is a short to medium distance migrant between breeding and overwintering areas.
