Duck

Duck, name applied to numerous species of a family of waterfowl. Ducks inhabit all continents except internal linkAntarctica. Their legs are generally far apart and toward the rear, making them awkward walkers but efficient swimmers. All ducks, except the merganser, have bills lined with bony notches for straining plant and animal matter from water. Most ducks of northern continents are migratory. Most males are bright colored with bold patterns. Ducks usually nest on the ground.

Ducks vary in their migratory distances. Among American ducks, the blue-winged teal (Anas discors) travels the farthest, nesting in North America and wintering as far south as Argentina. Disagreements exist about the classification of ducks, but there are a number of obvious groups. Most familiar are the surface-feeding ducks, which include the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). They live primarily on fresh water. The pochards nest on fresh water but winter on inland lakes and along the coasts. Eiders and scoters nest in the far north and winter predominantly at sea.

Scientific classification: Ducks belong to the family Anatidae, order Anseriformes.
