Description
Torrent ducks (Merganetta armata) can be found on fast flowing mountain streams and rivers throughout the Andes. They are powerful swimmers and divers and are perfectly at home in the strong currents, though they rarely fly for long distances. This one is a male.

Fascinating! I didn't know such a duck existed. It looks like he got his suspenders in the wrong place!

Thank you Pat, they're amazing ducks, it's worth looking up some videos of them in action, they're at home in the roughest rivers
