We here at LittleThings have seen our fair share of animal rescues. But no matter how many we see, they never cease to amaze us, and this video is definitely quite exceptional.
While a man and his family are out for a day in the park, they come across a duckling in trouble. He appears to be stuck in the shallow, swampy area, so at first, they just keep an eye on him to see if he can wiggle out on his own rather than interfering.
As we have seen before, duckling seem to have a way of finding themselves into some sticky situations. There were the adorable ducklings whose curiosity led them into a storm drain, the ducklings that hopped one by one off a rooftop into the arms of their heroic rescuer, and the little duckling who fell down a waterfall, just to name a few. Luckily, all of these animals managed to get themselves out of danger and back to their momma ducks.
Seeing all of those videos, you would think that the duckling in this clip might have just became trapped in some foliage, or maybe even a little mud. But when the rescuer in this video climbs down into the water to help the little guy out, he find thats the duckling is actually in more danger than that, as he's being held in place by the bite of a snapping turtle! After he frees him, the duckling and his momma swim away, glancing back at their heroic savior.
It may be one of the crazier duckling rescues we have seen, but we're sure it won't be the last!
