Anatids have webbed feet, short legs, long necks, strong wings, and soft bills. Their plumage often includes heavy down feathers. Anatids have short, pointed wings that allow for fast, strong flight. They flap their wings almost constantly while flying. They can be found in bays, lagoons, lakes, ponds, rivers, freshwater marshes, and open ocean.
