Looking like a cross between a goose and a turkey is the domesticated version of a Muscovy duck. This drake was one of at least four such ducks spotted in an enclosure which may or may not be their own! I’ve seen Muscovy ducks raised elsewhere for their (tasty) meat. Photographed on September 14 at the Greater Vancouver Zoo.

Not wrong though Chris… their dark meat was superb for Duck à l’orange 🙂

Childhood memories…. we used to have Muscovy’s running all over the farm where I grew up 🙂

wow!! they’re a rarity over here in Vancouver — I have only seen them once before, and they were being grown (as dinner) for birds of prey.
