Hybrid Mallard Trentham Gardens, S.O.T, UK

A hybrid mallard duck is a cross between a mallard duck and another species of duck1. Some common hybrid mallard ducks are the mulard, which is a cross between a mallard and a Muscovy duck, and the mallard X American black duck, which resembles a dark mallard with a green head3. Hybrid mallard ducks often have a white breast or a white bib on the chest24. Hybridisation of mallard ducks with other wild ducks can result in genetic pollution and threaten the diversity of waterfowl.
