5 Interesting Facts About Ducks!

  • A duck's quack doesn't echo - or at least that's the famous claim. Scientists have since shown it does produce a faint echo, but the shape of the quack makes it very hard to hear.
  • Ducklings imprint on the first moving thing they see after hatching - normally their mother, but if she's not there, it could be a human, a dog, or even a ball rolling past.
  • Ducks have waterproof feathers thanks to an oil they spread from a gland near their tail - this keeps them dry and insulated even after hours in cold water.
  • They can sleep with one eye open - literally. Like dolphins, ducks can put one half of their brain to sleep while the other stays alert for predators.
  • A group of ducks in flight is called a flock, on the water it's a raft, and on land it's a waddling - and a baby duck is called a duckling, one of the most beloved words in the English language.
