Mandarin ducklings are seen (above) on the Solyonaya Protoka River, outside of Vladivostok, Russia.   Below is a family of Mandarins.   The Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata) is native to east Asia and closely resembles the Wood Duck of North America.   The two ducks are the only members of the genus Aix.
