Is the Koloa maoli the only native Hawaiian duck?
No, there are two. Koloa maoli is Hawaiis last native duck remaining in the main Hawaiian Islands. The second native duck, critically endangered, is the Laysan Duck which is isolated on Laysan Island and Midway Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. A diversity of giant, flightless island waterfowl once roamed the Hawaiian Islands. They were believed to occupy the role of the dominant plant eaters in wetland and upland habitats.
