The Magellanic goose is a large bird of the duck family. Males have white plumage with black wings, while females are colored in brown tones with stripes.
The Magellanic goose exhibits strong sexual dimorphism in coloration. It is important for nature as a herbivorous animal that helps maintain the balance of vegetation on the meadows of South America.
