Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

I've never seen anything like it! So it's native to Canada? Beautiful.
I love goats. Looking forward to goats.
That's beautiful! Two days ago I've posted his 'cousins', but know nothing about them...
Elaine, Muscovy ducks are native to the tropical Americas though feral populations have since naturalized themselves throughout North America, according to Wikipedia.
JM - they're called Muscovy because they were introduced to Europe by the Muscovy Company. Wikipedia has a good article about them.
Just an amazing duck - although, it might scare me if I saw on in person without warning.
boise diva - yes, this is definitely one duck you don't want to meet in a dark alley.
