This duck can inflate a strange leathery flap beneath its bill to create deep, booming calls.
The Musk Duck is native to wetlands, lakes, and sheltered coastal waters of southern Australia. During the breeding season, males use their large throat lobe to produce dramatic displays, while diving beneath the surface to feed on aquatic insects, crustaceans, fish, and other small prey.
One of the world’s most extraordinary waterfowl, proving that nature’s strangest performers are often its most unforgettable.
