The Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos, the archetypal "wild duck" and probably the best-known and most recognizable of all ducks, is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and sub-tropical areas of North America, Europe, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. It is strongly migratory in the northern parts of its breeding range, and winters farther south.
