So, in the middle of everything today, we ran across a hellaciously distressed momma mallard and a bunch of her baby ducks that had fallen down a sewer grate. Another guy was already trying to fish them out, so my friend and I called animal control before we tried to fish the rest of them out. When Animal Control got there, we had all of them out and the mother duck quacking very happily. I was surprised - none of us got snapped at or hurt. I was even holding onto a bag at one point that had all of them in it and she just watched me. 

I love how the duck is perched on the guy’s butt

I’M SO HAPPY

AH GOSH this has made me so happy
what wonderful people

Duck, Owl Photos Show The Most Adorable Friendship Ever

The best friend bond is something that can last a lifetime, and for these two winged pals, it looks like they’ll be buds for years to come.
Chop-suey, a baby white-crested runner duck, and Larch, a baby long-eared owl, met at the Kirkleatham Owl Center in northern England earlier this month. The two have since become inseparable, sleeping and cuddling with each other.

A spokesperson for the center said the pair will eventually need to be separated due to “differing needs as they develop,” Zooborns reported. But for now, the cuteness can continue.
While they may be adorable, make sure to keep baby ducks outside as they don’t make for good pets. The average duck poops once every 15 minutes and the CDC recommends washing your hands after coming into contact with them as they “often” carry Salmonella.
Take a look at some more photos and a video of the pair here.

A Flurry of Furry: Rare White Twin Jaguar Babies

    These two white Jaguar twins were born at the Ascherleben Zoo in East Germany on January 18th and 19th 2012. There’s a special story behind these two, if the fact that they are white isn’t sepcial enough. Their parents are rather old, and so this pregnancy was quite unexpected. To top it off, the cubs had open eyes from birth, which is normally not the case.
