Summary[edit]

Description

Maori Name: Papango Aythya novaeseelandiae

The New Zealand Scaup which is also known as Black Teal or Papango is a blackish diving duck which is endemic to New Zealand. It is the most common of our diving ducks with a widespread and sparsely scattered population that numbers about 20,000. Although the population dropped quite markedly with the arrival of Europeans, NZ Scaup numbers have been on the rise again since being given full protection in 1934.
