Anseriformes is the 6th Life, the 6th Land and the 2nd Bird generator obtained in the Primary Simulation's Reptile Sub Tree, which can generate Entropy Entropy.

Design

Anseriformes takes the appearance of a male mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos). Three of these mallard ducks swim in a group in the lake in the Plains section of the Land garden. They are close to the capybaras (Glires), the Tetrapods, the echidna (Monotremes), the Turtles, and the chickens (Galliformes). The ducks have a swimming animation with their padded feet moving.

Description

"Anseriformes are a group of birds uniquely adapted for an aquatic environment. Along with Galliformes, Anseriformes are one of only two types of modern birds that date back to (and survived) the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event."

Upgrades

Anseriformes has 5 upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a total x2.1168e11 multiplier.

Icon	Name	Description	Cost	Efficiency	Requires
	Dabbling	Ducks participate in a form of hunting known as "dabbling" where they tip their head down and tail up to catch fish, insects, and water plants.	Entropy 4.60 E64	100%	Anseriformes
	Ducks	Small aquatic birds that can be found in both salt and freshwater, ducks are known for their distinctive "quack" cry. They are adapted more for swimming than for flight, but can take to the air using their short but muscular wings.	Entropy 3.22 E65	200%	Dabbling
	Geese	Geese are medium-sized birds with long necks and webbed feet adapted for swimming. They are known for their V-shaped migratory patterns.	Entropy 6.57 E67	400%	Dabbling Ducks
	Monogamy	Swans famously mate for life and have been known to mourn after a mate dies. They are fiercely protective of their nests and chicks, and can pair bond as early as 20 months old.	Entropy 3.86 E66	300%	Dabbling Geese
	Swan	Large birds with long elegant necks, swan's beauty hides their power—they are very strong, and often territorial. They live on water, eat an herbivorous diet, and mate for life.	Entropy 7 E109	176399999900%	Monogamy Research Level 61

Achievements

Icon	Name	Description	Requires
	Ducks A-Dabbling	The word "duck" comes from the Old English word for "to dive". Ducks are known for their practice of dabbling, where they plunge their heads and necks into the water to hunt for small fish, water insects, and plants.	25 Anseriformes
	When Swans Attack	The wings of swans are extremely strong, and their flapping can be heard from up to a mile away. When provoked by humans, they have been known to attack, and can break a man's leg with a blow from their powerful wings.	50 Anseriformes
	Talk to Me, Goose	Geese have coexisted with humans for many years. It is thought that they may have been the first birds domesticated by humans, with evidence indicating that they may have been bred as far back as 3000 years ago in Egypt.	100 Anseriformes
	Are You My Mummy?	Through a process known as imprinting, baby ducks and geese will bond with the first creature that they see after hatching. They have been known to imprint on humans, dogs, and even light aircraft and hang gliders.	150 Anseriformes
	Beware of Goose	Geese can be loud and territorial and have been used as guard animals throughout history. In Ancient Rome, they guarded the Temple of Juno, and today they are still used to patrol police stations in some rural parts of China.	250 Anseriformes
