EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet the Musk Duck: The Ultimate Ladies' Man of Yanchep National Park!". In this hilarious snapshot captured by photographer Alan Weaving, we have ASW-4261, the suave and seductive male Musk Duck. Known for his unique ability to produce a musky odor from a gland at the base of his tail, he's got quite the trick up his feathers! Living up to his reputation as a ladies' man, our dapper drake flaunts an impressive throat lobe during courtship rituals. Move over peacocks; this is how you really impress the ladies! With his charming looks and charismatic personality, it's no wonder he's commonly found on lakes and deep swamps across Western Australia. This single duck sure knows how to make a splash! Endemic to Australia, our feathered friend enjoys nothing more than frolicking in crystal-clear waters with stunning lake views as far as the eye can see. Talk about living your best life! So next time you find yourself wandering through Yanchep National Park, keep an eye out for this Australian heartthrob. Just remember not to mention any commercial use – after all, even ducks need their privacy!
