The indestructible duck
This has got to be one of the strangest and most intriguing news stories I've ever come across. In short the story goes like this. A hunter from Florida shoots a duck and of course assumes it is dead, so he takes it home and puts it in a freezer.
Two days later his wife opened the fridge door to find the duck alive!. So of course she took it to a local veterinarian where they performed surgery. During it the duck stopped breathing and was pronounced dead, but started flapping it's wings about 20 seconds later.
I just find that really amazing the poor thing was shot twice, almost died twice, was dragged by a dog and still survived. That is one duck with a lust for life!.
I'm sure the hunter is really disappointed though, seeing as he planned on eating it. (and yeah I know that sounds horrible, but it's a fact of life).
The media has dubbed Perky which is the ducks name 'super duck' and rightfully so, you just don't see things like this every day.
