9. INTRODUCTION
 Duck is the common name for a large number of species in
the Anatidae family of birds, which also
includes swans and geese. The ducks are divided among
several subfamilies in the Anatidae family; they do not
represent a monophyletic group (the group of all
descendants of a single common ancestral species) but
a form taxon, since swans and geese are not considered
ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than
the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh water
and sea water

10. ETYMOLOGY
 The word duck comes from Old
English *dūce "diver", a derivative of the verb
*dūcan "to duck, bend down low as if to get under
something, or dive", because of the way many
species in the dabbling duck group feed by
upending; compare
with Dutch duiken and German tauchen "to dive".
 This word replaced Old
English ened/ænid "duck

11. MORPHOLOGY
 The overall body plan of ducks is elongated and broad, and
the ducks are also relatively long-necked, albeit not as
long-necked as the geese and swans. The body shape of
diving ducks varies somewhat from this in being more
rounded.
 The scaled legs are strong and well developed
 The wings are very strong and are generally short and
pointed, and the flight of ducks requires fast continuous
strokes, requiring in turn strong wing muscles. Three
species of steamer duck are almost flightless, however.
Many species of duck are temporarily flightless

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

13. DISTRIBUTION
 The ducks have a cosmopolita
distribution occurring across most of the world
except for Antarctica.
 Habitate
 They are found in the lakes, rivers ,,oceanic water and
moist places

14. BREEDING
 Most duck species breed once a year, choosing to do so 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,
 But may abandon some of their ducklings if they are
physically stuck in an area they cannot get out of (including
nesting in an enclosed courtyard) or are not prospering due
to genetic defects or sickness brought about by hypothermia,
starvation, or disease.
 Ducklings can also be orphaned by inconsistent late hatching
where a few eggs hatch after the mother has abandoned the
nest and led her ducklings to water.
