I took dozens of shots of a Musk Duck. These would have to be one of the strangest of all ducks. They look like a cross between a penguin and a platypus. The males have a large, fleshy lobe under their short, stout bills. The male puts on a remarkable mating display, rising high in the water and slamming itself back down, wings out, making quite a splash. I didn't see any display behaviour, unfortunately.
