Why it matters
The Muscovy duck, or *Cairina moschata*, is a unique species native to the Americas, distinguished by its broad wings and rounded tail. Unlike most domestic ducks derived from the mallard, this bird is the only domesticated duck species not descended from that lineage, making it a significant subject for those interested in avian evolutionary history.
