The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a perching duck species found in East Asia. It is medium-sized, at 41 –49 cm (16 –19 in) long with a 65 –75 cm (26 –30 in) wingspan. It is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix. Aix is an Ancient Greek word which was used by Aristotle to refer to an unknown diving bird, and galericulata is the Latin for a wig, derived from galerum, a cap or bonnet.
