청둥오리, or the Mandarin Duck, is a colorful waterfowl native to East Asia. Known for its striking plumage, the male has vibrant colors, including green, orange, and white, while the female is more subdued with brown and gray tones. These ducks are often found in freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds, where they feed on aquatic plants, insects, and small fish. During the breeding season, 청둥오리 forms monogamous pairs and nests in tree cavities or on the ground near water. They are known for their unique courtship displays, which include elaborate movements and vocalizations. The species is also culturally significant in many Asian countries, symbolizing love and fidelity.
