Ducks can be found almost all over the world except for Antartica which would explain why they are one of the best known birds. Many ducks are migratory, particularly those breeding in the temperate and Arctic Northern hemisphere. Ducks from the tropics generally do not migrate at all.
Ducks have been found to be the funniest animal, according to research conducted in the UK by Richard Wiseman and his colleagues. Could this be a result of the cartoon ducks which have watched over the years or are the cartoons a result of ducks thought of as being silly?
