🌍🌏 Knob-billed Duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos) The Knob-billed Duck, also known as the African Comb Duck, is a large duck with iridescent blue upperparts and a white head/underparts. Males are larger and have a distinctive, fleshy black knob on the bill, which is absent in females. It's found in tropical and subtropical wetlands across Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, and South Asia. They are largely resident, with some seasonal dispersion based on water availability. They often perch in trees and are usually seen in flocks that can reach up to 100 in the dry season. Males are polygamous, mating with multiple females, and the species nests mainly in tree holes. They feed by grazing or dabbling for vegetation, seeds, and invertebrates. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: Despite its striking appearance, this species is typically very silent. Its most common vocalization is a low croak or grunt, usually heard only when the bird is disturbed or flushed. 📷: Photo by dragh via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/buttonbilled-duck-duck-bird-animal-8940585/ ZZHH
