Pekin Duck

Description:

Fully mature adult Pekin ducks weigh between 8 and 11 pounds (3.6 and 5 kilograms) in captivity. Their average lifespan (if not eaten at an early age) is about 9 to 12 years. Their external feathers are white sometimes with a yellowish tinge. This is more obvious with ducks that have been reared indoors and not exposed to sunlight. The ducks have a more upright stance than dabbling ducks, and possess an upturned rump. The eyes of this duck appear to be black when seen far away, but up-close one sees a grayish-blue colored iris.

Habitat:

Lakes, Creeks, Rain forests. Typically found in ponds and all that good stuff.

Notes:

Typical White duck with a yellow bill. But surprisingly they are mainly pets for humans but there are willd ones.
