Strange duck

The crested coot is related to ducks and geese. They can swim well, but their feet do not have such large flippers as their distant cousins. They prefer to walk on the ground. They eat seeds, leaves and roots of plants.

The nest of a pair of tufted grouse looks like a large platform of reeds, near the water. The female lays 2 to 8 eggs. When the chicks hatch, they immediately leave the nest. Also just like ducks and geese.
