Wow, that is pretty nifty. Does the duck seem to like it?

[Something'Witty]

I think ducks have a hard rigid bill and that you are anthropomorphizing.

Let me be more specific. A ducks webbed foot is used as a paddle when in water, and after the back stroke (propelling the duck forward), the webbing folds up so that the duck can bring the foot forward with significantly less drag. While the plastic foot likely aids the duck in walking on land (as seen in the photo), it might also induce a lot of drag when the duck is swimming, essentially acting as an anchor.

What Agatha's bro (Jupe?) did is super cool, I am just wondering how it worked out functionally for the duck. In hind sight, "Does the duck seem to like it?" wasn't exactly the correct question to ask.

Oh and I am no duck facial expression expert, but to me the photo of the duck with its mouth open could just as easily be an angry duck compared to a happy duck. Projecting your own emotional state onto animals is common. In this case, a feel good story about fitting a duck with a prosthetic foot primes your emotions in a positive way, thus you are more likely to interpret the duck in the photo as "happy."


Hot damn, that was way too long, if you made it this far, kudos on wasting 2 mins of your life.

Duck feet mechanics

Good read if u like the discovery nat geo history or any other educational docu type stuff

[Pudge]

Nova is the shit. Also siencedaily pretty good but not always 100% accurate/rigorous about their news

[Something'Witty]

Don't worry about it, that was just me nerding out. I am genuinely curious how the prosthetic foot worked out though.

Well up until now he always used to swim in circles, but it was fast circles. he can now swim in a straight line but very slowly. I'm going to get jupe working on a collapsable duck foot version next.

Fucking jupe, the tony stark of duck prosthetics.

Makes sense, an analogy might be trying to row a boat with only one ore. Pretty fucking cool if you ask me, props to Jupe.

Applies directly to giant killer duckbots.

I'm thinking of a very simple mechanism when the duck pulls his leg foward it collapses, and when he pushes against the water it holds.

[Giovanni]

Does he take it off when he goes swimming or keep it on?

A youtube video of a duck taking off a prosthetic foot to go swimming and putting it back on when it gets out of the water would surely go viral!
