Never thought Iβd see a new duck!
The knob-billed duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos), or African comb duck, is a duck found in tropical wetlands in Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and south Asia from Pakistan to Laos and extreme southern China. It is one of the largest species of duck. The male is much larger than the female, and has a large black knob on the bill.

Can this be real? Yes indeed. Itβs a painted grasshopper (Dactylotum bicolor), native to North America. Arty and awesome, right?
