About this Item
The diversity of duck species encompasses a wide array of fascinating birds. Among them, the Shield Drake, scientifically known as Tadorna vulpanser, stands out with its distinctive features. Another notable species is the Mallard, scientifically classified as Anas boschas, which is renowned for its widespread presence across various habitats. The Ruddy Sheldrake, also known as the Brahminy Duck, bears the scientific name Casarca rutila and adds to the colorful tapestry of avian life. Meanwhile, the White Faced Whistling Duck, identified as Dendrocygna viduata, showcases unique characteristics, as does the Common Eider, scientifically referred to as Somateria mollissima, known for its prevalence in certain regions. Lastly, the Wood Duck, scientifically labeled as Aix sponsa, adds further richness to the diverse spectrum of duck species found worldwide. Each species contributes to the intricate ecosystem dynamics and underscores the beauty of avian biodiversity. Print Shows: 1. SHIELD DRAKE - TADORNA VULPANSER 2. MALLARD - ANAS BOSCHAS 3.
