No, no, no - not the Flightless Steamer Duck! What a fascinating creature. I heard about them several years ago and if my memory is correct they actually go surfing in the ocean! The name "steamer" comes from their habit of escaping from danger by furiously paddling while flapping their short flightless wings to give extra speed. As they speed across the water at speeds up to 24kph they appear like the paddle steamers of old. Where do I book to go on this voyage?????? OH NO! No, no, no – not the Flightless Steamer Duck!
