Please spay and neuter your animals! While your newborn animals are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless pets. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.

Egrets

[–]glawrence21 10 points11 points ago

Yup these are Cattle Egrets and not Ducks. Cool photo!

[–]mievaan 7 points8 points ago

No, no egrets. No, we will have no egrets.

[–]Cocomunky 2 points3 points ago

No egrets!

[–]alanjtory 1 point2 points ago

Here's the source for that comic.

It's pretty radical.

[–]twosided -1 points0 points ago

There are ways of telling whether they are Egrets.

[–]shamwowmuthafucka -1 points0 points ago

And they will be "rEgrets" once they find what he's been doing with that trunk...

[–]CitrusFreak12 0 points1 point ago

You know nothing, John Snow.

[–]Arknell 0 points1 point ago

Good source of potassium for a little elephant.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

TIL cattle egrets are the new ducks.

[–]skullk1d 4 points5 points ago

Let us all play egret egret goose.

[–]icanreadtheinternet 46 points47 points ago

Why is it that every time this is reposted, the reposter has no idea what a duck looks like?

Are there that many people who don't know what a duck looks like?

[–]mrMirage 7 points8 points ago

Back in the day reposters at least bothered to change the title...what is the world coming to?

[–][deleted] ago

[–]SirColton 6 points7 points ago

It has been posted >= one time. Once posted again, it is a re-post.

Bing? Lets avoid digging your hole any deeper, shall we?

[–]0verdr1ve 3 points4 points ago

Does it quack like a duck? No.

Does it look like a duck? No.

Is it a duck? Hmmm.

[–]exxocet 5 points6 points ago

the people in /r/aww must be the worst animal identifiers in the land, it's a surprise when they get something right!

[–]kragmoor 2 points3 points ago

dae like tigers?

[–]mellowllama 0 points1 point ago

if it walks like a duck, and talks like it a duck, it's probably an elephant

[–]Borso 9 points10 points ago

You sure those are ducks?

[–]VanillaTGorilla 4 points5 points ago

Not one bit.

[–]omni_wisdumb 2 points3 points ago

LMAO and an upvote for your humorous honesty. They are Egrets btw, live very co-op lives with many animals of the Savanna.

[–]WalkSkyluker 0 points1 point ago

Doesn't matter, it's adorable.

[–]Mit3210 0 points1 point ago

Unless they're elephant-eating birds closing in for the kill.

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points ago

And here's an elephant with a long horse.

[–]CoyoteStark 5 points6 points ago

Sadly, not one duck was given. The baby elephant was left with egrets.

[–]bowtiesrock 2 points3 points ago

TIL all birds are ducks.

[–]docroberts 2 points3 points ago

Egrets damn-it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egret

[–]Cuttlefeesh 2 points3 points ago

Not ducks..

[–]BLOWBACKKID 0 points1 point ago

not playing, sucking them up

[–]thesonofdarwin 1 point2 points ago

Exactly. We've seen enough videos the past week of random animals you wouldn't expect eating live baby birds to know where this is headed.

[–]Ghis06 1 point2 points ago

It? or he/she?

[–]kalrajhi 0 points1 point ago

Maybe it is the ducks who are playing with it.

[–]hardrider2k4 -1 points0 points ago

i seen an elephant put his trunk up another elephants butt and pull out poop before

[–]moose_sex 0 points1 point ago

Not pictured: Pack of lions, slightly out of the frame

[–]SovereignD 0 points1 point ago

I'm no expert on elephants, but I'm pretty sure it's going to eat them.

[–]greymud 1 point2 points ago

So you CAN get down from an elephant.

[–]subminute 0 points1 point ago

I think we're all in agreement, I'm in charge here.

[–]imprettytired 0 points1 point ago

I read it as it's playing with the dicks.

[–]boesse 1 point2 points ago

Goddamnit, these aren't ducks!!! Why is it every time this photo gets reposted it's always reposted by an idiot?

[–]mike34113 0 points1 point ago

until it ACCIDENTALLY STEPS ON ONE!!!!

[–]ybcuz 0 points1 point ago

Well, at least it's not playing with itself.

[–]nojusticephoto 0 points1 point ago

That's no elephant... Oh, never mind.

[–]ChunkArcade 0 points1 point ago

I saw a video on Reddit a few days ago that would lead me to believe this baby elephant is saying "Pull my finger"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Duck, duck, elephant

[–]nighthawk24 0 points1 point ago

"It's"?? He is..

[–]Sugreev2001 0 points1 point ago

Saw this picture only days ago. r/aww is getting r/annoying.

[–]Epic563 -1 points0 points ago

Reeeepost.

[–]pkaydub 0 points1 point ago

MY HEART MELTED LIKE A STICK OF BUTTER.

[–]MoTeD_UrAss -2 points-1 points ago

Duck season

[–]Ryno9292 -1 points0 points ago

Did anyone else imagine him sucking those babies up then firing them out of his trunk like a canon. That would be a great ending to this

[–]mw_nn_wm -2 points-1 points ago

Babar, is that you??

EDIT: really, downvotes in r/aww? that's a first. anyway, i was referring to a french children's book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babar_the_Elephant
