 * Types of Ducks **

Nothing is more important to animals than eating. Which animal eats what, where, and when, and who prevents whom from eating can define an animal community. Diving ducks, or ** "divers," ** are ducks that propel themselves underwater with large feet attached to short legs situated far back on the body. " **Dabblers** ," have smaller feet and their legs are farther forward. While a few dabblers may sometimes dive to feed or to escape predators, typically they skim food from the surface or feed in shallow water by tipping forward to submerge their heads and neck.
