Mom To The Rescue

Once in a while a little duckling needs some help in this cold, cold world.
The mother had abandoned these ducklings just as they were
breaking out of their shells. An intervention quickly ensued...

The tiny little beak is peeking out.

How does all of that little body fit into such a seemingly impossibly small shell?



The first thing a duckling needs to do is drink water.

And he already has it down, with no real duck-mother to show him the way.
