Anas platyrhynchos
Indian Runners are an unusual breed of domestic duck. They stand erect like penguins and, rather than waddling, they run.
In popular culture Beatrix Potter's depiction of Jemima Puddle-Duck (pub. 1908) with a mostly upright, elongated posture, being an errant laying duck not trusted to incubate its own eggs, suggests that the actual duck she was based on,at her Hill Top Farm, Cumbria, was a Runner or derivative thereof.

There was a man feeding the waterfowl. This duck was overwhelmed by the gulls,canada geese and pigeons. It did not get even a piece!
