Hah I was walking around a pond and flushed out a momma duck and her brood from some reeds. They swam away from me and a huge bass came up and ate the rear duckling. I was so shocked.
Shes doing what instinct is telling her to do. There is water in the storm drain and she is taking the babies to the nearest body of water. It isn't her fault that we built weird grates over the water.

Yeah but animals have been falling into sink holes and stuff forever. It sucks but it’s just sometimes how it goes. But it’s nice to see people help out.

Not realizing the video was looping, I got pretty upset at the "end"

Ah just imagine how many critters we could have if we stopped designing death traps

Quite a miserable deaths, might as well throw explosives on them to make it at least quick...

Someone got them out at the end, if you missed it.

I like how the last one just thinks "fuck this I'm not going to be a only child" and jumps
Badsequence

Like the video of all the kids coming out of a tent and tripping on the edge and the last kid just falling down on purpose!

Hey it tried to jump across, but it could only jump like 3 inch forward.
sadsquatch
3 inches is pretty big tho. I mean far
nullbr
remember your mother asking that if all your friends jumped from a bridge would you jump too? Thats the answer...
Jae005
OMG, i feel so awful for laughing, but that tiny jump IN just got me good!

I'm guessing we could solve this with a grate with cross-hatched bars but it would cost $10,000. Now I need to use my own meme on myself.

I think the common solution has been smaller gaps, but a lot of places still use the old ones

Except she went right past it, not *to* it.

Not at all what's happening, but okay.

This literally happened outside of my apartment years ago. Some friends and I got one of those sticks with a grabber on the end and saved them.

I hate watching these. Just makes me think of all the millions of other times that this happened and there wasn't anyone or thing to help

Don't worry, most of them otherwise would have been eaten alive. It's sad what we humans cause, but nature is far more cruel and uncaring
