It may seem like a tall  tail, but it’s real. The photograph went viral on July 16, 2018, when wildlife photographer Brent Cizek shared a picture to Twitter that claimed to show a mother merganser hen with her “adopted brood” of over 76 ducklings neatly in a line as the birds swam across Minnesota’s Lake Bemidji. But while the picture in question was real, we have rated this claim as “Outdated” due to the fact that it’s is from 2018. But how did the doting mother acquire such a fleet of ducklings? According to an article published by the National Audubon Society at the time, the hen acquired the ducklings from many broods on the lake to form the group, which is called a crèche. And according to the publication’s field editor, Kenn Kaufman, such big broods are not all that uncommon in part because ducks often lay their eggs in the nests of other ducks. In some cases, a female duck will also lay her eggs in the nest of others even if she has her own place to lay.
