10- Name:  Pink-headed Duck
Scientific Name:  Rhodonessa caryophyllacea

This beautiful duck was found in the wetlands of Bengal in eastern India. It was never very common, and flocks of more than a few dozen were unusual. As the human population grew, its delicate habitat gradually disappeared, and the last of these ducks died in about 1936.
