If I told you that I found a live-action video of a valiant mother dinosaur defending her young from couple of predatory dinosaurs, would you think I was nuts?
Well, after watching a video, courtesy of Tengrain, of baby wood ducks jumping out of a tree, I found a video of a mother mallard fighting off a couple of rapacious crows which were trying to make a meal out of her ducklings:
Of course, just as everyone knows that the burrow owl lives in a burrow in the ground, everyone knows that birds are maniraptoran dinosaurs. Now, work with me... pretend that you don't know the scale of the dinosaurs involved in this epic battle. Good, now pretend that it's a mother Edmontosaurus (ignore the fact that mamma duck is a saurischian, despite her hip shape) defending her young from a couple of tyrannosaurs. Voila! Battle of the dinosaurs!
Stephen Spielberg, eat your heart out!
How timely! Just yesterday I learned about (some of) this while watching "Dinosaur Train" with my 2 year old.

ReplyDeleteI could swear I've put up that video before, B^4...but I can't find it on a cursory search.
ReplyDeleteIt's an inspiring tale.

You could direct the sequel. I'm sure there are wood ducks around Lake Siri.
What?
ReplyDeleteDucks around Lake Siri??

ReplyDeleteMallards are okay, but the wood ducks are sweeter in every way! Hey, don't hate me just because I'm a duck snob.
