	Musk Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Musk Ducks are moderately common through the Murray-Darling and Cooper's Creek basins, and in the wetter, fertile areas in the south of the continent: the south-west corner of Western Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania.
		Musk Ducks float very low in the water, almost like a cormorant, and their dark grey-brown, sightly pin-striped plumage is initially drab and unattractive.
		Although male Musk Ducks have a large leathery lobe below the bill and this swells during the breeding season, it is not connected to the vocal cavities and appears to be purely for visual purposes.

	Musk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Musk is the name originally given to a perfume obtained from the strong-smelling substance, secreted by the testicles of the musk deer, and hence applied to other animals, and also to plants, possessing a similar odor.
		In the vegetable kingdom it is present in the common musk (Mimulus inoschalus), the musk wood of the Guianas and West Indies, and in the seeds of Hibiscus Abelmoschus (musk seeds).
		To obtain the perfume from the musk deer, the animal is killed and the gland completely removed and dried, either in the sun, on a hot stone, or by immersion in hot oil.

		It is improbable that any of these hybrids could have acquired their wildness from the musk-duck having paired with a truly wild duck; and this is known not to be the case in North America; hence we must infer that they have reacquired, through reversion, their wildness, as well as renewed powers of flight.
		It is well known that a large number of female birds, such as fowls, various pheasants, partridges, peahens, ducks, etc., when old or diseased, or when operated on, assume many or all of the secondary male characters of their species.
