Best Answer

In certain duck species, the duck's legs are set far back on its body. This is especially prevalent in the merganser duck. These types of legs are not very advantageous on land, in fact, they make the duck "waddle" as it walks. But in the water, it helps them swim faster and with more control. This is the same with many waterbirds such as loons, grebes, and cormorants.

What is the starfish position?

The starfish position is a sex position derived from missionary position. Called starfish position due to the position of the man`s limbs seen from above or from the female point of view. The penetrating partner lies with spread legs on top of the receiving partner wich got the legs closed.By keeping the legs together. This can create friction from the penis and lead to a clitoral orgasm. When the partner inserts his penis into the vagina, she squeezes her legs closed and have him place his legs outside hers. The partner can then squeeze her legs further closed with his thighs. It may help if he can shift his pelvis forward to cause pressure and friction on the clitoris
