Owl raises a duckling after mistaking its egg for her own

The phenomenon is not as unusual as it seems, as wood ducks often lay their eggs in numerous locations, including other birds' nests in the hope that some will hatch and the young be looked afterChristian Artuso, who recalled an incident in 2007 when an owl incubated and hatched three wood duck chicks, told National Geographic: "It's not commonly documented, but it certainly happens.

It is not understood why the owl parents don't realise they're looking after another bird's young, when the eggs have a very different appearance. It's likely the wood duckling is still alive and well, as the species is precocial, which means they're able to survive on their own from a very young age.
