You’d think a duck’s feet would freeze standing on an icy pond. Unlike mammals, they regulate their bodies differently so that standing on an icy surface is almost like a walk in the park 😏

I’ve often puzzled about it and the same for all wild creatures in very cold or windy conditions.

I’ve often wondered how they can stand the cold like that. Same when you see cows standing in icy puddles in a pasture. My feet would fall off!

I was glad to learn that ducks can tolerate the cold not sure about the cows though 😏

I don’t know how they do it. Maybe they don’t have much of a blood system in their feet so they don’t get as cold as we might.

I like your title! An alternative could be… ‘A Duck Out Of Water’!

Sweet shot, Belinda…I love ducks. 🙂 The vascular system in birds’ feet is pretty amazing, isn’t it?
