Whistling Duck

A few comments and questions about the black bellied whistling duck from our young participants.

"She's very pretty and she has a pink bill." "Why does she look like she's wearing lipstick?" "She looks like she's smiling; is that normal?"

About This Project

Many zoos offer opportunities for visitors to have up-close encounters with ambassador animals. These encounters have the potential to increase interest in these animals and hopefully inspire visitors to take action to protect animals in the wild. We will study how interactions with ambassador animals at the Bronx Zoo affects visitors’ interest, learning, and conservation intentions.
