Mauritius sheldgoose
The Mauritius sheldgoose (''Alopochen mauritiana''), also known at the Mauritian shelduck is an extinct species of goose from Mauritius.
==Taxonomy==
It was a close relative of the Egyptian goose. Known from one or two subfossil carpometacarpus bones from the Mare aux Songes swamp and a few descriptions, this bird was about the size of a brent goose. Its appearance is unknown, except that its wings showed the typical color pattern of shelducks. It is sometimes considered conspecific with the Malagasy shelduck; in this case it would become the nominate subspecies, as ''Alopochen mauritianus mauritianus''.
Sometimes even in scholarly sources〔E.g. (here )〕 one can find references to a supposed "Mauritius swan" or "Mauritius comb goose". These refer to the initial misidentification of the ''Alopochen mauritianus'' bones as belonging to the genus ''Sarkidiornis'', but as early as 1897 the true nature of this bird was realized.
