The African black duck is fairly common in both South Africa and Zimbabwe, with small populations in other countries in southern Africa. It is a river specialist, rarely straying away from rivers and streams. Its diet is not well known, but it is thought to eat more invertebrates than it does plant products. The female builds the nest, which is a deep bowl made of plant matter, placed near water. It lays 4-11 eggs, which are incubated solely by the female, for 28-32 days. More
