I don't know what's cuter - the duck or the tiny leaves!: Jenny; | Jan 27, 2007 at 09:18 PM

That "soup" is called--surprise!--duckweed! The plants don't get much bigger than a few millimeters, but they totally cover a pond in a blanket of emerald green. Total cute overload! ^__^ --TwoDragons: Denita TwoDragons; | Jan 27, 2007 at 09:20 PM

I thought it was green carpet :P: R. Moore; | Jan 27, 2007 at 10:32 PM

I tried to keep track of how many hard-boiled eggs they ordered. I think it ended up being close to two dozen. What a cute little duckie! Great picture.: belphebe; | Jan 27, 2007 at 10:34 PM

OMG! Cute ducklette and cute leaves! I love his fuzzitude!: pookiepuff; | Jan 27, 2007 at 10:46 PM

"Why-a no chicken?": Suda Nim; | Jan 27, 2007 at 11:07 PM

No, wire fence.: lauowolf; | Jan 27, 2007 at 11:38 PM

For reasons I can't entirely explain, I'm getting an "I ate too moishe" vibe from this picture... Maybe because his leettle head is pulled back? Oh gosh darn it, I suppose I'll have to sit here and look at it until I figure it out...: elizabells; | Jan 27, 2007 at 11:57 PM

"put it on my bill" LMAO ceebs: Mike; | Jan 28, 2007 at 12:47 AM

How do you get down off an elephant?: Suda Nim; | Jan 28, 2007 at 12:55 AM

Hey Theo! Get out that standing bass & join me! Listen to this song! http://www.songsforteaching.com/fosterbrown/ducksong.htm Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack There’s never any water on a ducks back. To look at a duck, there are some things you will see. They have webbed feet, and a bill for a beak. The boys are colorful – the girls are drab, They fly to the south when the weather turns bad. Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack There’s never any water on a ducks back. There’s birds who feed on the shallow ponds. We call them dabbling ducks. Their heads go down and their tails go up, Eating roots and bugs in the marshy muck. Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack Waddle, Waddle, Quack, Quack There’s never any water on a ducks back. There’s the kind of birds we call diving ducks, They dive for fish to eat. They swim underwater with their wings and feet, Then pop up with a fishy treat.: musicchick2; | Jan 28, 2007 at 01:02 AM

better have my penguin back tomorrow....or else....grrrr....quack....the fist ..the fist!: Fable; | Jan 28, 2007 at 01:16 AM

Yep, the green stuff is duckweed. It makes really good fish food, actually. I wonder if ducks eat it too?: the_becca; | Jan 28, 2007 at 01:30 AM

"put it on my bill" WHY DIDN'T I think of that? oh pun master... [kneeling]: Meg; | Jan 28, 2007 at 01:36 AM

AWWWWWWWW fuzzy duckitude.: Subhangi; | Jan 28, 2007 at 01:53 AM

If the duckweed leaves are that tiny in comparison to a little baby duckling, imagine how small they are compared to a full-size duck! (And I wonder if they're edible for humans, and, if so, what they taste like.) Oh, and bad joke of the night: Why does a little baby duckling walk softly? Because he can't walk hardly! (hint; it's funnier if you know where a comma ought to go.): acelightning; | Jan 28, 2007 at 02:00 AM

I MISS DUCKTALES!: pistache268; | Jan 28, 2007 at 02:12 AM

And check this out! From the Wikipedia article on duckweed: "These plants are very simple, lacking a stem or leaves, but consisting of a small blade-like structure floating on or just under the water surface, with or without simple rootlets." ROOTLETS!: pistache268; | Jan 28, 2007 at 02:14 AM

*MELTS* this little one is the cutest thing EVAR!!: natalie q; | Jan 28, 2007 at 02:33 AM

Hey Suda Nim! You don't get down from and elephant, you get down from a duck. Sweet little fuzzy buddy too.: Loolee; | Jan 28, 2007 at 05:18 AM

Ahhhhhhhhh precious baby!!!: Jennifer; | Jan 28, 2007 at 06:01 AM

Norty----Yeah, me TOO! But now at least I know the words. Woo Hoo!, Christina! Quacks up at ceebs :>: Carlisa; | Jan 28, 2007 at 06:40 AM

This is great. The little green leaves are called "DUCKWEED" It infests ponds and is eaten by ducks. This little guy has quite a job ahead.: corapegia; | Jan 28, 2007 at 07:20 AM

Christina, Ducktales reference FTFW. I can't be bothered to get out my new Disney Afternoon DVDs, so someone do Darkwing's opening~!:D That IS a very koot duckling. The down fluffyness attracts rabid hugglers.^_^: Pika Hikari KT; | Jan 28, 2007 at 11:26 AM

No seriously? That's duckweed? That somehow makes it cute squared. Peaceful little duckling in your peaceful leafy pond....: thepetmuseum; | Jan 28, 2007 at 12:29 PM

When I was a kid I grew to hate Darkwing Duck because that's what all the kids used to call me, because my initials are DW *le sigh*: GreenEyedHawk; | Jan 28, 2007 at 02:43 PM
