This duck can see ultraviolet light. It flies at an altitude of 10,000 meters—a height no helicopter can fly at. It dives 10 meters and emerges completely dry. This is not an eagle or an albatross. It's just an ordinary duck, the kind you fed bread to in the park.
This video tells the complete story of the duck: from its 66-million-year-old ancestor to urban ponds and poultry farms. Why paws don't freeze on ice, who winters on ice-free rivers, how ducks were domesticated three thousand years ago, and why several species have disappeared forever.

Селезни, тоже, крчкают, ещё как!!!
Особенно молодые самцы.
Я живу на берегу реки и дикие утки гнездятся на моём берегу и спокойно ходят по двору моего дома, инспектируя сад, хотя и держатся от меня на расстоянии, так вот я сколько раз слышал, как самцы начинают громко крякать, особенно по вечерам.
А шипят они друг на друга только во время споров между собой.
Это мои личные наблюдения за дикими перелётными утками гнездящими рядом с моим домом.
