Usage Examples English
- The spur-winged goose ("Plectropterus gambensis") is a large bird in the family Anatidae, related to the geese and the shelducks, but distinct from both of these in a number of anatomical features, and therefore treated in its own subfamily, the Plectropterinae.
- They include the dabbling ducks of the genus "Anas", the shelducks and the sheldgeese, the extremely common Egyptian goose, and the spur-winged goose.
- The African spur-winged goose is toxic to eat as it sequesters poison in its tissues, from the blister beetles that it feeds on.
