Imagine duckling line up straight like that their mother sef will have peace and she will do anything to protect them

imagine that the mother is a nigeria president and the duckling as Nigerians the mother will not know peace she won't be able to gather & care for them like that

Some of them will even be claiming they know road more than her sef, some will even go their separate ways, they will insult her tire

I can imagine some of them forming coalition against her in the name of ngo grin

Lolzzzzzzzzz grin

A mother duck has been captured in a set of adorable pictures caring for no less than 76 ducklings – and despite the size of the brood, her feathers remain unruffled.

The remarkable images of the common mergansers were captured by Brent Cizek at Lake Bemidji, in Northern Minnesota, the photographer’s home state.

The 32-year-old told MailOnline Travel: ‘From what I've been told, this is a common practice among common mergansers.



‘Mergansers will dump their eggs into multiple nests, so when they incubate they have eggs from other mothers in the same nest.

‘However, they can only incubate up to 20 eggs. So while some of these chicks may be hers, it's not possible for all of them to be from her.




‘She likely picked them up from other mothers when the ducklings got separated and it's also possible that she is caring for all of the babies on the lake.

‘There is greater odds for survival if the brood is much larger.’


At first Mr Cizek counted 50 ducklings in tow, then on another trip to the lake he counted 76. In one picture he managed to capture 56 ducklings following the mother.

When he posted his images of them online they quickly went viral.



Twitter user Hannah J Waters commented: ‘Is there anything sweeter in the universe?

Adult ducks can’t tell which birds are theirs, and lost young birds that have already imprinted on their own mothers will instinctively start following another common merganser because she looks like mom.’

Gwendolyn G Bieschke wrote 'real men shoot ducks with cameras!' and Beverly Jones said 'this is just magnificent'.

User Holly Landau joined in, too, writing 'thank you for noticing something so awesome and sharing it with us'.

If this was in Nigeria .
Erosion will carry some of those ducklings.
Thief will carry some.
Motor will jam the mother duck and all the remaining ducklings will most likely die miserably from other natural or artificial disaster.

This can be likened to the real definition of cuteness. For those who like to chant 'Kiut' at any given opportunity sighting any picture with a slay queen in it.
