Claws if unclipped, and flying up in a tree to escape if wing feathers are not clipped. However if domestic ducks, say for a small farm operation, you really ought to have a predator proof shed to keep Muscovy in at night to prevent losses to hungry wildlife.

Heading for water or flying are the 2 most common defenses,. Ducks will also quack loudly and flap their wings in defense.
