The Hook Bill or Dutch Hookbill (Dutch: Kromsnaveleend or Krombekeend[10]) is a breed of domestic duck characterised by an unusual down-curved beak.[11][12] It is an ancient breed, and has been documented since the seventeenth century. Speculation that it originated in Asia,[13] or is related to the Indian Runner, is apparently unsubstantiated.[14]
