this depends largely on the breed and location.
(this answer is not for ducks in the wild)
if they arent fed properly and are exposed to clean living conditions they can die after several months of birth.
properly fed and clean living conditions can help ducks live to be 20 years old for a few breeds.
colder parts of the country will lower the bird's life span by a few years.
Usually semi-free range white pekins live around 6 or 7 years in moderate conditions.

My muscovies are anywhere from 18 years to 5 years. The 18 year old is a female.A Muscovy can live for 10-20 years or more. That is if there aren't injuries or illness. Pet ducks are not too common. They lead a protected life. Mine is now 5 years old.
ducks live in ponds or lakes, and a duck also lives in fresh water lakes.
To answer your question, some duck do live in the rain forest but not a lot. There are types of rain forest ducks that live there feeding off the leaves and seeds in the water. Rain forest ducks are different then regular ducks for witch hey eat different things. Rain forest ducks also live in the small lakes and ponds.
yes they can, but you must keep them somewhere warm in winter. one of my friends has ducks in grand rapids.
i dont know the record for longest living duck, but in the wild they only live for about 2 years due to predators and hunters. however, i have 3 pet ducks, and our oldest is 5 years old. she had ducklings last year, even though she was old enough to be their great grandmother, so i guess ducks have the potential to live for a long time.
