Duckgull is the name given a newly discovered animal reported to exist in New Zealand [1]. Dr. Amy B. Guous reported her findings in an article published on January 13, 2006 by the journal Nature. She described the creature as having physical features and mannerism similiar to both ducks and seagulls.

Existence disputed

[edit]

In a June 27, 2006 edition of the journal Science Dr. Var E. Doubtfire a resident zoologist for the Auckland Zoo reported that he observed the creature as well and that based upon its mannerisms and the fact that it could not fly it was likely a new species of rabbit. [2]

"The creature hopped about and ate grass and what looked like two halves of a beak twitched separately when a sound was made. If one looks at Thomas Samuel Kuhn's drawing one can clearly see the rabbit's head tilted back with its nose pointing up slightly and the 'beak' is actually a pair of ears".
