...See more Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfowl] in the family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_(biology)] Anatidae [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatidae]. Ducks are generally smaller and shorter-necked than swans [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan] and geese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goose], which are members of the same family. Divided among several subfamilies, they are a form taxon [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_taxon]; they do not represent a monophyletic group [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monophyletic_group] (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species), since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_bird], and may be found in both fresh water and sea water. Ducks are sometimes confused with several types of unrelated water birds with similar forms, such as loons [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon] or divers, grebes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grebe], gallinules [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallinule] and coots [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coot].
