	Comb Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Comb Duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos) is an unusual duck, best placed in the shelduck subfamily Tadorninae, though it has formerly been included in the Anatinae.
		It is very important for the comb ducks to have rain because it determines when they are going to mate and also if they are going to mate at all.
		The comb duck is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.

		Duck is the common name for a number of species in the Anatidae bird family.
		Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than their relatives the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh and salt water.
		Most domestic ducks were bred from the wild Mallard, Anas platyrhyncha, but many breeds have become much larger than their wild ancestor, with a "hull length" (from base of neck to base of tail) of 12 inches or more and routinely able to swallow an adult British Common Frog, Rana temporaria, whole.

		The word duck meaning the bird, came from the verb "to duck" meaning to bend down as if to get under something, because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending (compare the Dutch word duiken = "to dive").
		Of the many ducks in fiction, many are silly cartoon characters.

	The benefits of managing for native vegetation
		Ducks do not form long-term pair bonds, but instead form seasonal bonds, otherwise known as seasonal monogamy, in which new bonds are formed each season.
		Polygamy is uncommon among waterfowl and observed in only 7 percent of species, including the ruddy duck, musk duck (Australia), comb duck (South America, Africa, and southern Asia), and maccoa duck (Africa), all of which are stiff-tail ducks, and the magpie goose (Australia).
		For example, male musk ducks establish and defend breeding territories along shorelines and engage in elaborate courtship displays to attract females to their territories.

		Clearly visible even during flight, the male's fleshy comb is flaccid and reduced in size for much of the year.
		Found in sub- Saharan Africa and tropical Asia, as well as in South America, the knob-billed goose prefers to graze in waterside grasslands or dabble in shallow water, feeding on aquatic vegetation, grass seeds, rice, invertebrates (usually locusts and aquatic insect larvae) and the occasional small fish.
