. . "The pygmy geese are a group of very small \"perching ducks\" in the genus Nettapus which breed in the Old World tropics. They are the smallest of all wildfowl. As the \"perching ducks\" are a paraphyletic group, they need to be placed elsewhere. The initially assumed relationship with the dabbling duck subfamily Anatinae has been questioned, and it appears they form a lineage in an ancient Gondwanan radiation of waterfowl, within which they are of unclear affinities."@en . . . . .
