Ducks

The Indian Runner Duck is a breed of domestic duck. They are native to the Indian-sub-continent and Malaysia. The breed was first brought to Europe by a sea captain, and were exhibited at the London Zoological Gardens in 1835. By the end of the 19th century, the breed’s popularity had spread considerably.

Muscovy ducks had been domesticated by various Native American cultures in the New World when Columbus arrived. The first few were brought to Europe by the European explorers at least by the 1500s.
