The Muscovy Duck is a large duck species native to Central and South America, particularly found in regions like Peru. This bird has been domesticated and is now raised in various parts of the world. Muscovy Ducks are distinctive for several reasons:

They are large ducks with notable red facial caruncles. Their plumage is generally black or dark green with an iridescent sheen, and some may have white markings.

The meat of the Muscovy Duck is darker, leaner, and higher in protein than that of other ducks, making it a popular choice for culinary uses.
