Description
A Mallard Drake, Anas platyrhynchos, swims on the Neuse River near Union Point part in New Bern, North Carolina. Unlike many birds the Mallard is able to breed with similar species producing fertile, hybrid offspring. This ability has sparked some concern that interbreeding could lead to other species disappearing. The Mallard is the base for most dometic duck breeds. A common, non-migrating duck, they are very common. In some areas they are consdered a nusiance species.
