Google says it's a Muscovy duck, Cairina moschata. It gives "natural-looking" a whole new meaning. :confused:

Nice shot. My wife and I saw a similar duck in CA. We thought it was a mutant. Maybe it's a breed.

I guess the state of Fl. doesn't like them either. I know that at one time their was no law against killing them anytime of year for any reason and you did not need a license.
