Duck (Spanish: pato, French: canard, German: Ente, Greek: πάπια) wild or domesticated web-footed swimming birds of the family Anatidae.

Ducks are generally divided into two varieties, surface feeders who 'dabble' on the surface and bottom feeders who dive to the bottom of the body of water they reside on to feed there.
