Duck Torrentero - (Armed Merganetta)

It lives in fast-flowing Andean rivers, where it swims with great skill among the currents. The male has black and white plumage, while the female has brown and orange tones. Its slender bill allows it to feed on aquatic insects.

Curious fact: it can swim against the current with impressive strength, which has earned it the nickname “duck of the raging rivers”.
