10 Kwacha WWF

The reverse design depicts a White winged Flufftail and the denomination “10 Kwacha”. White winged Flufftails are very rare members of the crake family. They are various shades of chestnut in color with a whitish chin and throat, black and white markings on the tail wings and a purplish colored bill. They inhabit marshland and floodplain area, amongst clump grasses and reeds, and feed on aquatic insects and larvae.Because White-winged Flufftails are so scarce, there is little information on the habits of these birds and nothing at all is known about their breeding season, nests or eggs. The lack of knowledge makes conservation procedures difficult to determine until more research is completedThe Republic of Zambia has many national parks, created to protect the abundant wildlife, such as the Kafue National Park, one of the largest in the world, and the Mosi Oa- Tunya National Park which contains the magnificent Victoria Falls
