This is both cute and disturbing. I hope he will be okay.

Does he have wings too? Weird.

 

[Butterscotch]

I was wondering that too! Did those form instead of wings or does he have those too? When he grows up will he be able to get off the ground at all?

4 legs bless him/her

He'd probably thrive here in our winter wonderland...all-terrain duck. I could train him to do coffee runs through snowdrifts

I'm finding great irony in his name: Stumpy.

God bless evolution

Mutations are pimp.

Seriously, that's a bit creepy...but also very cute.

 

[Galeongirl]

looks like it indeed has legs instead of wings... might be sad for the animal, but I think it's pretty interesting that these things happen naturally! (yes biology nerd speaking here! )

 

[Babydoll]

They said it's a genetic mutation and that it happens very rarely. I wonder how many times this has happened before? Or how he was bred?

 

[JessicaAnn]

Mutation or evolution?

 

[Babydoll]

They say mututation.... I wonder if this is the start of a new era in evolution!
