Ducks are aquatic birds smaller than the swans and geese. The can be found in both fresh water and sea water.

A male duck is called a drake and the female duck is called a duck.

The body plan of ducks is elongated and broad, and they are also relatively long-necked.

Ducks exploit a variety of food sources such as grasses, aquatic plants, fish, insects, small amphibians, worms and small molluscs.

The ducks are monogamous although these bonds generally last a single year only.

Most duck species breed once a year in favourable conditions (spring/summer or wet seasons). Ducks also tend to make a nest before breeding and after hatching to lead their ducklings to water. Mother ducks are very caring and protective of their young.

Females of most dabbling ducks make the classic "quack" sound.

Ducks have many predators like large fish like pike, crocodilians, and other aquatic hunters including fish-eating birds such as herons.
