Because pet ducks are generally raised on open ponds or lakes, they are subject to predation. Predators that can damage your duck flock include: turtles, owl, hawks, raccoons, skunks, opossums, cats, and dogs. If possible, your ducks should be maintained in an enclosure that prevents predator access.
The word 'orchid' is derived from the Greek word orchis which means testicles, and the name originates from the shape of the root tubers of the plant. It is due to this reason that orchids have been associated with sexuality in many cultures.
Orchids belong to the Orchid family, Orchidaceae, which is considered the largest family of flowering plants. Orchids are categorized in different ways depending on certain characteristics. They can be divided into types based on the way the plant grows or categorized by where they grow naturally in the outdoors.
