Description

Duck specimen - a taxidermy exhibit prepared for educational and display purposes, preserving the external morphological features of a wild waterfowl in their natural form. The specimen depicts the bird in a natural pose before or during flight. The body is medium-sized and compact, with the head directed forward and a short neck. The wings are spread widely to both sides, with greyish-white feathers and dark-tinted tips. The legs are yellowish-orange, with webbed toes.
The specimen is mounted on a soil-like base. Small stones and artificial vegetation elements are arranged on the base, creating a composition that imitates the bird’s natural habitat near a water body.
