Listed as Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, the Chinese merganser is under first-class state protection in China. Famous for its "hairstyle," the feathers on the back of its head, the duck has very high requirements of its living environment, which must include lucid waters and abundant food sources. Mountain Changbai in northeast China is therefore one of the only fitting habitats on Earth. Take a look at these amazing creatures, their predators and their home. For the full story, please check at Unexplored Land Ep1: This endangered bird has been migrating for millions of years.
