About Vegavis
Vegavis is a genus of extinct bird that lived during the Late Cretaceous of Antarctica, some 68 to 66 mya. Among modern birds, most studies show that Vegavis is most closely related to ducks and geese, but it is not considered to be a direct ancestor of them. Although other studies question these results.
