Closeup of a male Mallard on a lake - London, UK

Mallards (anas platyrhynchos) frequently interbreed with their closest relatives in the genus Anas (dabbling ducks), and also with species more distantly related, leading to various hybrids that may be fully fertile. This is quite unusual among different species, and apparently is because the Mallard evolved very rapidly and recently, during the late Pleistocene.
