Description
Mallard ducks are so adapted to water that newborn ducks can paddle immediately. Despite their love of water though, the ducks tend to build nests quite a distance from the nearest water source. The first pathway to the water can be perilous for young duck families. Whenever the mother duck senses danger, she will create a splashing distraction or feign injury to draw the danger toward her rather than to the baby ducks.
Mallards are classified as marsh ducks. They feed by turning upside down in the water and may also eat on land.
