The kelp goose (Chloephaga hybrida) is a species of waterfowl in tribe Tadornini of subfamily Anserinae.

Adult males are entirely white but for a black bill with a pink spot on the maxilla and yellow legs and feet.

[4] The nominate subspecies of kelp goose is found on coastal southern Chile and Argentina including the Tierra del Fuego archipelago.

Except when nesting, the species inhabits rocky coasts or shingle beaches with kelp beds offshore.

[4] The nominate subspecies of kelp goose is found year-round along the southern Chile coast and in Tierra del Fuego.

C. h. malvinarum is also mostly sedentary throughout the Falklands, but some individuals move from more exposed offshore islands to larger ones in winter.

It builds a nest of grass lined with down, on the mainland near somewhat inland freshwater lakes and on the Falklands close to the shore.

[1] It "does not compete with human interests due to inaccessibility and [the] types of habitats preferred" but "[c]ould be at risk from spillage of oil or other toxic substances on rocky coasts.
