What the hell is this duckling raised by an owl? There is also this kind of operation

Can you believe this wonderful thing when an owl lives with a duck?

This sounds like a mess, but it happened in real life, and this scene was taken in his backyard by a Florida photographer Lauri Wolfe.

Laury Wolf initially thought that the owl and his cubs lived in nearby trees. When he looked closely, the cute yellow bird turned out to be a small wooden duck. The owl raised it as his child. "It's incredible that they're sitting shoulder to shoulder. I still don't believe it until today." At first, Laurie was worried that the carnivorous owl would eventually eat the wooden duck cub, and even contacted a bird expert.

After a local wildlife reserve, she will take care of the baby if she can catch it. But just as she and her husband were about to catch it, it jumped out of the tree hole and ran quickly to the nearby pond. She has never seen the duckling since then.

Although the eggs of owls and ducks look completely different, they don't understand why their parents don't realize that they are hatching not their children. If the owl father sees the hatched children look different from him...

In fact, this phenomenon is obviously not uncommon, because wooden ducks do not like to lay all eggs in one place. They often lay eggs in other birds' nests, hoping that some of them can be hatched and passed on their genes to the next generation. Christian Artuso said in an interview: "You can think of it this way, not put all the eggs in one place. If you put the eggs separately and let your eggs hatch other birds, this increases survival because the eggs may be eaten by other natural enemies, so that they won't end. We know this will happen, but we don't know how often it will happen." Laurie Wolff continued, "so I'm looking forward to seeing another example like this."
