the other day at wesleyan i was so excited cos there were little baby ducklings. teeny ones. but there were only 3, which i thought was a weird number, there are usually more. they were guarded by their mother & (i assume) father. the next day i went again & saw the mother with only 1 duckling & the father floating headless in the water, turtles picking at the meat.
what the hell does this mean?! did the turtles eat the babies? that's understandable, they're bigger than the ducklings, but what got the father duck? surely the turtles couldnt take a full grown daddy duck down? where's his head?
today i went back & the mother duck was alone. :(
it's so sad. they were so fucking cute. i wish i couldve/DID do something. i wonder if the rest of the ducklings born this spring will make it with these fucking turtles. there are more this year. they sunbathe on the bank.
