おもしろい事実

Cape Teals often nest in old burrows or tree hollows, not just on the ground.

Their bright pink bill is unique among ducks, almost like a living fingerprint!

These ducks frequently 'dabble' upside-down to reach food underwater.

They make quieter 'peep' or 'quack' calls than most other duck species.
