The king eider is a sea duck. You can find it in regions of the Northern Hemisphere such as northern Alaska, Canada, Greenland, parts of northern Russia, and the Bering Sea.

While it primarily lives in high arctic regions among ice, in winter the king eider migrates south in large flocks to enjoy spring and summer temperatures. As a bird, the king eider's breeding method involves nesting and laying eggs which it incubates in nests made on the ground. Its main predators are gulls, ravens, arctic foxes, and humans.

These birds are most recognizable by the beautiful colors displayed by male birds, while young birds and females are mostly brown. King eiders are also very similar to common eiders, with whom they can breed.
