Yes, ducks are capable of diving underwater to forage for food. They use their webbed feet to paddle and their wings to help maneuver while swimming. Some duck species, like the diving ducks, are particularly skilled at diving and can stay submerged for up to 30 seconds.
A diving duck will dive underwater to feed. A puddler, or dabbling duck, will only put its upper half of its body under water. They ''tip up.'' However, when wounded, a dabbler will dive under water and grab any vegetation it can find. It will not let go even after it expires. Dabbling ducks live mainly in the mainland flyways while divers prefer the coastal flyways and great lakes.

No, there aren't any ducks on the moon because ducks can not breath in outerspace, because of the lack of oxygen.

Yes, ducks can. Make sure that the ducks can be closed in at night.
