Hybrid Mallard Ducks


Apparently mallards are known for fooling around with ducks from different species,
producing hybrid mallard ducks like these.  Google also taught me that we can tell male
ducks by prominent curls at the tail, so the two ducks with darker heads are males.

Oh my, these are certainly strange looking ducks. Wonder what their offspring might look like.

Interesting. Did not know this was even possible.

I didn't know that about the curl on the tails!
