The South Georgia pintail (Anas georgica georgica), also misleadingly known as the South Georgian teal,[2] is the nominate subspecies of the yellow-billed pintail (Anas georgica), a duck in the dabbling duck subfamily Anatinae. It is endemic to the large (3,756 km2) subantarctic island of South Georgia and its accompanying archipelago, and is a vagrant to the South Sandwich Islands.[3] It was among the birds noted by James Cook in January 1775, on the occasion of the first recorded landing on South Georgia,[4] and was formerly considered a full species.
