There are over 120 species of ducks, and they are found in various habitats across the world, from freshwater lakes and rivers to coastal marshes and wetlands.

Ducks are known for their diverse feeding habits. Some species are dabbling ducks, which feed on the surface of the water or tip their bodies to reach underwater plants.

Others are diving ducks, which dive completely underwater to catch fish, insects, and other aquatic creatures.
