Researchers have captured images of mallard ducks attacking and eating small birds – a behaviour that has never been seen before
But a shocking new study paints ducks in a very different light.
Researchers have captured images of mallard ducks attacking and eating small birds - a behaviour that has never been seen before.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge caught the bizarre behaviour on camera, while filming mallard ducks on a reservoir in Romania.
Mallards normally eat seeds, acorns, berries, plants and insects, and occasionally eat small fish.
But this is the first time they have ever been seen eating other birds.
Comment: 108 fatalities due to elephant attacks in just one state of India over a year does seem extremely high given the fact that some other sources claim that elephants kill a total of around 500 or 600 people annually across the world.
