Pekin Duck

Anas peking

Description:

White duck, slightly larger than mallard.

Habitat:

Park pond

Notes:

We had walked by the tree this little duck was near and woke it up from it's nightly sleep. This was pretty early in the morning, so it was still sleeping pretty hard! My daughter walked close to take pics, and it started hissing and getting very irritated. Then it calmed down and had a stretch, we were lucky enough to catch a pic!

Hi... I am curious about knowing... atmosphere at every corner in world and the style of flora and fauna observed there... like free wild fauna...mostly... I do not like to see sadness on captivated animals. I never visited a zoo since I started learning about animals..... Thats why I like Project Noah....!!
