They are wild and protected from being hunted. There are 2 ponds behind my office. You will see ducklings in spring time. I witnessed a hawk grabbing a duckling. It was horrifying for the mama duck and her ducklings. She scrambled to distract the hawk but was no matched for the hawk's agility. I think 1 out of 10 of ducklings will make it to adult hood. It is a very tough life for baby animals. <strong>Peter: I have not seen wild ducks here in Malaysia before. Maybe there are but I seldom go to the places they stop in their annual migration. And I do not know what happened to the other duck at Sentul Park. I sure hope they were not poached for the dinner table.</strong> We have Mallard and Muscovy ducks in Florida.
