Mzamaji (ndege)

Wazamaji (tafsiri kutoka Kiing.: diver) ni ndege wa maji wa jenasi Gavia, jenasi pekee ya familia Gaviidae. Wanafanana na vibisi na minandi lakini ni tofauti na wamepewa oda yao Gaviiformes. Wana ngozi kati ya vidole kama minandi lakini domo lao lina ncha kali bila kulabu kama vibisi. Kama zile spishi nyingine huzamia kabisa ili kukamata samaki, gegereka, amfibia, koa na luba. Hulijenga tago lao kwa matope, mimea ya maji na manyasi ardhini karibu na maji ya ziwa katika kande za kaskazini za Amerika, Ulaya na Asia. Jike huyataga mayai 1-3. Nje ya majira ya kuzaa hupatikana baharini na spishi kadhaa huhama mpaka pwani za Afrika ya Kaskazini-magharibi.
