Muscovy duck. Largest breast size of any duck. Originially bred specifically for eating. Now they run rampant in neighborhood retention ponds, making big fecal messes in people's yards. They don't quack, they hiss. And they tend to have nasty dispositions. Yet most places won't allow you to eat them.
