Ducock (SciiFii)

The ducock (Galloanas splendens) is a species of duck that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout Hawaii to help boost biodiversity. The ducock is most closely related to the Mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) of Asia, but is more terrestrial and galliform-like in ecology and behaviour. Males of this species are brightly colored and develop large fan-like feathers on its head during the breeding season, making lek displays to attract females. The conservation status of the ducock is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the ducock's tolerance to many of the human activities.
