Alopochen aegyptiaca
Kruger National Park, Garden Route National Park and Table Mountain National Park are among 21 atlas places where the Egyptian Goose is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Germany. The atlas holds about 599,000 open records of this bird from 22 countries, and the map shows where these records gather.
Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Egyptian Goose as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
