…A general term for birds belonging to the Anhingidae family of the Pelecaniformes. In English, it is called darter, and in American English, anhinga. In taxonomy, the darter is very closely related to the cormorant, and is often classified in the Cormorant family. … From [U (cormorant)]... The family Cormorantidae is divided into two genera and 31 species. Most species belong to the genus Phalacrocorax , but two belong to the genus Anhinga . Some species have degenerated wings, such as the common cormorant P. harrisi , endemic to the Galapagos Islands, and the spectacled cormorant P. perspicillatus , found in the Commander Islands. These degenerated wings make them incapable of flight. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "anhinga" are listed below. Source | Heibonsha World Encyclopedia 2nd Edition | Information |
