The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in , ,

Although adult Meller's Ducks look very similar to the common Mallard, they are a distinct, and highly endangered species native only to Madagascar. Keepers at the Louisville Zoo were startled to discover two eggs in the Meller's Duck enclosure during a routine cleaning in May. After 26 days in the incubator, two tiny ducklings were born and are doing well.

    Mamma did not care for her own eggs? They are adorable! Will the Mom raise them and teach them how to be good little ducks?
