The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a perching duck species found in East Asia. It is medium-sized, at 41â49 cm (16â19 in) long with a 65â75 cm (26â30 in) wingspan. It is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix.
Predation of the mandarin duck varies between different parts of its range. Mink, raccoon dogs, otters, polecats, Eurasian eagle owls, and grass snakes are all predators of the mandarin duck. [8] The greatest threat to the mandarin duck is habitat loss due to loggers. Hunters are also a threat to the mandarin duck, because often they are unable to recognize the mandarin in flight and as a result, many are shot by accident. Mandarin ducks are not hunted for food, however they are still poached because their extreme beauty is prized. [8]
