4 sections
The Green Pygmy-Goose (*Nettapus pulchellus*) is one of the smallest ducks in the world and is native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea. This compact waterbird is well adapted to life among waterlilies and floating vegetation in tropical wetlands, where it spends most of its time on the water and is rarely seen on land.
