Thirty rare Baer's pochard ducklings hatch at Chester Zoo
- Published
These cute ducklings are really rare. Baer’s pochards are usually found in Russia and China but there are only small numbers of them left living in the wild.
This little ducky is one of the lucky ones. This type of duck is on the critically endangered list because of hunting and loss of habitat in the wild.
There is a plan to start a breeding programme across Europe to help stop them dying out.
Thirty ducklings hatched out at Chester Zoo and it's thought that there are only the same number of these birds living in the wild.
