For this #MNZooMoment, we find ourselves on the Tropics Trail again but in the path of a chestnut teal duck. This Australian native duck species is dimorphic, which means it presents in two forms. A male chestnut teal duck's plumage is more saturated in color, with a green head, while the females have muted plumage of brown shades all over.
