Description

When: June 1, 2019

Where: Park Berg en Bos/ Apenheul Apeldoorn, The Netherlands


We tend to stay at the zoo until late (because we like sending the Lemurs off to bed) and even if we do leave earlier than that, we tend to take the wrong route back. It is a lot quieter, and it leads us around the pond - a pond that is home to many species of Waterfowl. We loved seeing this stunning Duck and her Ducklings, and they're the reason why we always take this route now


Species: Mallard or Wild Duck (Wilde eend)

Latin name: Anas Platyrhynchos

Originates from the temperate and subtropical Americas, Europe, Asia and North Africa, and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia.

Current status: Least Concern

 Did you know:

…Male Mallards are called “drakes”.

Haha, we have been around when the Lemurs were allowed to go "behind the scenes" - a very nice way to close up the day


Haha, if at all possible, we try to keep track of all their progress
