duck

Ducks are one of those species that are both elegant and silly. Whether you grew up on "The Ugly Duckling" or "Duck Tales", ducks have always played a major role in our culture. Me, personally, my friends used to always tease me that my pokemon was Psyduck. I am still not 100% as to why that is but I decided not to take it as a read.

Below are a bunch of memes with ducks that are both hilarious and sweet! There's a lot we can learn from ducks in general but these memes at least take a bite out of laugh and have us chortling.

Although all animals are beautiful, some animals are more unique than others. Whether it's because of how rare and underappreciated these animals are or because they have some unique characteristic. Such is the case with 'Long Boi' - 'the tallest mallard duck to have ever lived' that drove twitter crazy over the weekend.

Twitter does that sometimes - going nuts over a particular animal. From celebrating Viscachas for looking like they're perpetually done with everything to going nuts over the fact that octopuses sometimes punch fish for no reason other than spite. We love the things that make animals unique, and we love them even more when they're hilarious. 

Losing someone is always hard - for all of us. Apparently, that is true for animals as well. And it was especially true for George the dog. He had lost his very best doggo friend and has been heartbroken for 2 years since his passing, acting depressed and tired, not smiling nearly as much as he used to. 

But then one day, something amazing happened. Out of nowhere, a duck waddled into George's life and absolutely insisted on the two of them becoming best friends. And lo and behold, a heartwarming interspecies friendship developed. Soon, George began smiling again, and seeing him happy made us smile just as much. 

A new day, a new twitter discovery. This time, we found a twitter account dedicated to nothing but reasons why everyone should have ducks, and we are so not mad at it. Yes, we agree. everyone should have a duck? Why, you ask? Well, take a look at these pictures and videos, and you'll understand perfectly why ducks are a necessary animal in every household. 

No words are necessary to understand. Ducks are just... cute and tiny and adorable and truly surprisingly friendly. And apparently, ducks like dogs, which is always good to know. So, if you have a friend who is contemplating getting a duck, here is how to convince them.

Also, convince your friend to get a cat at same time. Just because. 

Ducks are so cute! And as one commenter pointed out, they're lucky they're so cute because they poop everywhere. All the time. 

However, that's not really relevant to this story. Imgur user, sneakybeaver154, has recently shared a post with the community that his fiancée saved a duck! And even includes so images of the saved duck. Of course, it went viral because who wouldn't love to see a rescued duck? Or any animal for that matter. 

It's a fact that we humans love rescue stories and if it's a rescue story that involves an animal? Man, that's the jackpot. Happy to say that a majority of people love animals just as much as we do! If you recently rescued an animal, whether it be from the streets or shelter, share your story with us on 'I Can Has Cheezburger's,' newest Facebook page, 'ICanHas Storytime.' A community for people to share their animals and the stories behind them!

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to PurrasicDuck! 

Duck is the cutest lil dinosaur around! She is a two-legged double amputee rescue from St Petersburg, Florida. Oh, and she's heckin' photogenic.

Duck is fairly new to Instagram, the first post being only March 19th of this year and the page has already accumulated a following of nearly 40k! Guess people know a truly special cat when they see one. 

Duck's owner responded to a question, on Instagram, as to what happened to Duck's legs, "she was brought into my sisters clinic with her two front legs mangled. Thankfully they have an amazing surgeon that wanted to save her and performed a double amputation. I took her in and she acclimated to her new life quickly and now is the happiest little kitten alive."

We're crazy about this lil lady and in a minute you will be too! 

Get ready to fall madly in love with Duck! 

George the dog was depressed for 2 years due to the lost of his very best friend of 12 years, a Labrador named Blackie. 

There didn't seem to be an end to the depression, until a strange duck waddled into George's life. 

It's unknown as to where the duck came from but we're grateful that it did. We all deserve a duck like this one in our lives. 

Polly lives in New Jersey at the Goats of Anarchy goat rescue. And if her duck suit makes her happy, then we say... let her be a duck!

In fact, one might be sitting near you on your next flight! fingers crossed
