When most people think of ducks, they think of the Mallard Duck. The Mallard is a common duck mostly found in North America, Europe, and Asia. The Mallard Duck is also found in Central America, Australia, and New Zealand. The scientific name for the Mallard Duck is Anas Platyrhynchos. It is part of the species of Dabbling Ducks. Mallard Ducks enjoy the water and usually are found near rivers, ponds, or other bodies of water.
Baby Mallards are called ducklings. A mother duck will usually lay around 10 or so eggs. She tends the eggs by herself in a nest. Shortly after the ducklings hatch out of the eggs, the mother duck will lead them to the water. From that point on, they usually do not return to the nest. Baby ducklings are ready to go within a few hours after they hatch. They can swim, waddle, feed themselves, and find food right away. Their mother will watch over them and help protect them for the next few months. After around two months, the ducklings can fly and will become independent.
FUN FACTS ABOUT MALLARD DUCKS:
- The male Mallard is called a drake and the female a hen.
- Ducks may waddle along slowly, but they can fly pretty fast. At top speed they can hit 70 miles per hour!
- Mallards can fly nearly vertical, if needed. This includes taking off from the water almost straight up.
- It is estimated that there are over 10 million mallard ducks in North America.
- A group of ducks that are flying is called a flock, but when they are on the water the group is called a sord.
