Looks pretty much like a regular duck, right?

[Charlie Murphy] "WRONG.....WRONG!" [Charlie Murphy]

At first glance, the goosander looks like a typical waterfowl; but when feeding ducks at the pond, you might not want to offer your hand to the members of this unusual species. As the largest of the “Sawbills” of the genus Mergus, the goosander inhabits rivers, estuaries, and park lakes throughout Eurasia, Canada, and the USA.

Extending from its bill are more than one hundred and fifty razor-sharp teeth, curved backwards, which can slice through the bodies of fish like a hot knife in butter. :damn: A bird with teeth is always going to be an anomaly—but even more eerily, this dinosaurian “devil duck” :demonic: may at times saw up small mammals, and even other birds, as though it were some form of aquatic raptor.
