Description

Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Ducks are generally smaller and shorter-necked than swans and geese, which are members of the same family. Divided among several subfamilies, they are a form taxon; they do not represent a monophyletic group, since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.

बत्तख (Duck) अनैटिडाए कुल के जलपक्षियों की कई सदस्य जातियों का सामूहिक साधारण नाम है। बत्तखें आमतौर पर हंस और कलहंस से छोटे आकार के होते हैं और इनकी गर्दन भी उनसे कम लम्बी होती है। यह मीठे जल व सागरों के खारे जल दोनों में पाई जाती हैं।
