Veliki žagar (Mergus merganser) je velika in vitka raca, ki jo lahko opazimo ob rekah in jezerih z gozdom poraslih območij. Prepoznamo ga po značilnem kljunu, ki je na koncu rahlo zakrivljen navzdol. Samci imajo črno glavo, ki v času parjenja oddaja izrazit zelen lesk, siv rep in črno-bela krila. Samice so po večini sive, glave pa imajo rjave. Veliki žagarji v Sloveniji veljajo za ogroženo vrsto.

The common merganser or goosander (Mergus merganser) is a large seaduck of rivers and lakes in forested areas. We can recognise it by its unique bill, that has serrated edge. Males have black head with green gloss, gray tale and the wings largely white on the inner half and black on the outer half. Females are largely grey with brown head. In Slovenia the common merganser is considered an endangered species.
