Male mallards also occasionally chase other male ducks of a different species, and even each other, in the same way. [103] In one documented case of "homosexual necrophilia", a male mallard copulated with another male he was chasing after the chased male died upon flying into a glass window. [103] This paper was awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in ...

The name McViper is a pun on the word viper, a type of venomous snake. All of The McVipers' names have references to snakes, except for Haggis, which is a Scottish dish. Snake is obviously not related to the rest of The McViper Clan. He just has the same last name as the rest of them, since he happens to be a pig and the rest of them are dogs.

This dilution of pure genes due to the propensity of species within the mallard complex to hybridize and backcross could cause issues for the genetic purity of the species. Backcrossing in particular can negatively impact non-mallard species as oftentimes the hybrids breed with the more vulnerable species, leading to further genetic dilution.
