If ducks lacked side holes on their beaks, they would struggle to filter food from water effectively. These side holes, known as nares, allow ducks to breathe while foraging underwater. Without them, their feeding efficiency would decline, potentially impacting their nutrition and overall survival. This adaptation is crucial for their lifestyle as dabbling and diving birds.
