Ducks can be classified into several categories based on various criteria. The eight classifications often include:
- Anatidae Family: The broader family that encompasses all ducks, geese, and swans.
- Dabbling Ducks: Species that feed on the water's surface or tip their bodies to reach underwater plants.
- Diving Ducks: Ducks that dive below the water's surface to find food.
- Perching Ducks: Ducks that have the ability to perch in trees, such as the Wood Duck.
- Domestic Ducks: Breeds that have been domesticated for agriculture, like the Pekin duck.
- Wild Ducks: Species that live in the wild, such as the Mallard.
- Sea Ducks: Ducks that primarily inhabit coastal and marine environments.
- Teal: A subgroup of small dabbling ducks, known for their size and distinctive coloring.
