What is a Mallard Duck?
The mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is a common wild duck found throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Mallards are often seen in wetlands, urban parks, and ponds. They are social birds, often seen in flocks.
Male mallards have a distinctive green head, white neck ring, and chestnut-brown chest. Females are speckled brown for camouflage. Mallards are dabbling ducks that feed mainly on water plants and small animals.
