If there were to be an increase in the duck population, the worm population would fall. When the duck population is too great, the amount of fecal matter would help the grass but pollute the water and spread disease.]]> 2017-11-07 15:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/whatspoppinjimbo/mallardducks/wish/204394970 whatspoppinjimbo https://padlet.com/whatspoppinjimbo/mallardducks/wish/205813673 Webbed Feet:
Ducks have webbed feet that change shape in water to allow more surface area, which makes them more mobile and faster.
Beak:
The Mallard Duck's beak has adapted to allow them to catch and filter through small animals from the water.
Feathers:
The Mallard's feathers have a coating on their feathers that prevents water from soaking their feathers, making them lighter and keeping them warmer. The feathers also provide camouflage.]]> 2017-11-10 19:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/whatspoppinjimbo/mallardducks/wish/205813673 whatspoppinjimbo https://padlet.com/whatspoppinjimbo/mallardducks/wish/205816246 When Mallards are young, they are more likely to be prey to other animals such as:
