A special family: the Kyiv Zoo told the love story of a duck and a goose

[ad_1]

With the beginning of summer, the breeding season began at the Kyiv Zoo – and this year a very special goose-duck family was formed there. The wild mallard duck became a mother of many children, and the goose began to help her, zoo workers say. The duck settled in a lake with koi carp and gave birth to six chicks. At the same time, the zoo veterinary clinic received 4 orphaned ducklings. “Our caring mother warmly took them under her wing. But it was difficult for the mother to cope with 10, she had to spend the whole day trying to find and collect all the naughty brood, and then a miracle happened. A goose of the Cossacks, who always liked to walk alone on the territory of the zoo , heard the squeal of ducklings – and this suddenly awakened “fatherly” feelings in him”, writes Kyivzoo. The goose rushed to help the concerned mother to drive the little brawlers together, and then remained in the goose-duck family as a father. Read also: Capybara.

The Kyiv Zoo is a place where more than 200 species of various animals live,” they say zoo workers. An unusual goose-duck family was formed in the capital’s zoo. We will remind you that earlier a baby guanaco was born in the Kyiv Zoo. Also in winter, a baby was born to a couple of capybaras.
