A bird similar to a mallard has been named the world's highest flying duck by researchers from the University of Exeter.
They say ruddy shelducks were recorded over the Himalayas at altitudes of 22-thousand feet.
That's short of the height of Mount Everest - and is apparently the first evidence of "extreme high-altitude flight in a duck".
