Mallard is probably the best-known and most recognizable of all ducks, with the male birds have a bright green head, while the female's is light brown. The mallard lives in wetlands, eats water plants, and is gregarious. It is also migratory. The mallard is the ancestor of all domestic ducks,

Muscovy Duck is a large duck found around public parks in nearly every state of the USA and in the Canadian provinces. This is the only breed of domestic duck that is not decended from the mallard, being technically almost a goose. They are also strange in the fact that they do not quack, but make a hissing sound instead. To be polite, there beeks are kind of ungly with a flap of skin cover the top part.

 

Mulard aka "mule ducks" is a hybrid variety of domestic duck. Most of the ducks on the Funny Farm started out as Muscovy crossed with Mallard ducks.
