Information
Ducks
are birds. They are also called "waterfowls" because
they are normally found in places with water like ponds,
streams and rivers. They are related to geese and swans.
The duck is the smallest of them all. Ducks also have
shorter necks and wings and a stout body. They can live
from 2-12 years, depending on species. Ducks have webbed
feet, designed for swimming. Their webbed feet act like
paddles for the ducks. A duck waddles instead of walk
because of its webbed feet. Do you know that the duck's
feet cannot feel cold even if it swims in icy cold water
? Well, the reason for this is because its feet has
no nerves or blood vessels.
