Yesterday afternoon, this duck and her ducklings were walking around Sleeping Beauty's Castle (a CM happily guided/protected them from the stroller madness). They made their way into the moat and were minding their business, when all of a sudden this mallard swam up to the duck and began chasing her away (he wouldn't let her near her ducklings). We watched as 2 more mallards joined in, running and eventually flying after the duck for about 15-20 mins. We felt bad, but guess they must've REALLY wanted to chase that particular duck tail..

Poor momma duck. Mallard male are aggressive and often go after the baby. In order to have some of his own off springs. But glad the mommy Duckie and babies were ok. - Bambi.
