My son wouldn't have turned a hair at that.
He's not a particular animal lover, and at first I was sad about that. But it's turned out to be good, such as when we saw Tarzan and I explained the leopard ate the baby gorilla. He was just like, "Oh, okay." I've never pretended to him that nature is anything but brutal or that meat comes from anything but dead animals.

Not quite the same, but something similar happened on a zoo trip I took (I think it was the San Diego Zoo). Anyway, we were on the tram, the driver was doing his usual jolly spiel about the animals we passed. Then we went by the polar bear exhibit.
A particularly stupid duck had flown into the polar bear exhibit. Needless to say, the bears were enjoying their fresh meal and playing with the leftover bits. Yeah, it was more than a little graphic.
Cue many grossed-out guests, a driver stumbling over what to say, and more than a few uncomfortable chuckles. Not to mention many nervous parents having to explain the scene to their children. I don't recall if anyone complained to the zoo staff about it.
So yeah, nature is indeed red in tooth and claw. Real life is no Disney documentary!Last edited by XCashier; 01-21-2014, 04:10 PM.

You wanna make a complaint about that? Go talk to Donald Duck, he's around here somewhere I"m sure.

Thank you . . . we try hard so share our vast knowledge on all kinds of stuff you never knew existed.Quoth MoonCat View PostDamn, this site is educational.


Never had the experience to observe ducks mating but this life ain't over with yet.

Of course this brings up the question: How many does it take to fuck a duck?

Actually, this might explain the one time years ago, when we used to have ducks come to our birdfeeders to eat the seeds left on the ground, where I saw three or four male mallards go tearing after one female.
