Back in my days ducks were just fish with extra wings and legs

Biblically accurate duck

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 10 points 2 days ago

Does that bring the total to 12?

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

no. five.

5 legs would be some weird Cambrian Explosion experiment. They got buck wild back then!

[-] ignoble_stigmas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Is 5 legs duck asymmetrical, like one side is heavier than another and needs one extra leg there? or all 5 legs are along a central symmetry plane of a 5 legs duck?

I mean, for that matter, neither fish or bird technically exist (also, trees). So it doesn't matter. Try feeding birdseed to a penguin and you'll see.
