Most Colorful: Mandarin Duck
The male Mandarin Duck—a
close relative of the Wood Duck—has the most elaborate combination of
plumage, with bright red and orange cheeks, a cobalt and magenta chest,
and dazzling patches that blanket him from end to end. These stunning
creatures, native to eastern Russia, China, Japan, and Korea, far
outshine their female counterparts, which are predominantly brown. Way
to steal the show, Dad!
