About Spur-winged Goose (Plectropterus gambensis)
- Kingdom: Animals
- Phylum: Chordates
- Class: Birds
- Order: Anseriformes
- Family: Swans, Geese, and Ducks
The spur-winged goose is a large, Sub-Saharan African waterbird in the family Anatidae, which includes geese and shelducks. However, P. gambensis developed unique environmental adaptations, which resulted in the evolution of several anatomical features that are not shared with other anatids; thus, the species has been classified one step further into its own subfamily, the Plectropterinae.
