About Northern Pintail (Anas acuta)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Anseriformes
  • Family: Swans, Geese, and Ducks

The pintail or northern pintail is a duck species with wide geographic distribution that breeds in the northern areas of Europe and across the Palearctic and North America. It is migratory and winters south of its breeding range as far as the equator. Unusually for a bird with such a large range, it has no geographical subspecies, although the possibly conspecific duck Eaton's pintail is considered to be a separate species.
