Is this the oldest duck species?

[@brighteyedbirding]

No. According to my research, the oldest duck species (now extinct) was known as the Vegavis. It used to roam the earth with the dinosaurs around 60 million years ago. As far as the oldest still alive today, it was tough for me to find the answer to that question.
