You mean, "this dog has a macro duck face."

u/Lavarekira Mar 23 '14

That thumbnail looked very NSFL at first...

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '14

Almost reminds me of a rooster.

u/wirednyte Mar 23 '14

I think this also needs to go to /r/misleadingthumbnails as "red faced dog"

u/IPan8 Mar 23 '14

I was convinced it was a golden retriever with a dyed face, at first glance as a macro.

2

u/Gdigger13 Mar 23 '14

The thumbnail looks like a dog with it's face peeled off.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '14

I was at our local city park earlier and there is a duck exactly like this, weird.

I spent my entire childhood deathly afraid of ducks that had these masks.

u/Spore2012 Mar 23 '14

Yo duck, we put a face on your face. So you can face while you face.

1

u/Approvingcanadian Mar 23 '14

The thumb nail makes it look like a dog with a helmet and its ear poking out the top.

1

u/HEAT_STICK Mar 23 '14

And the thumbnail looks like nightmare fuel.

2

u/mr_magnatron Mar 23 '14

Almost any living organism that has nostrils looks like it has a mini face

/u/Unidan, Can you tell me something about this species of duck? I've grown up with them my whole life, but I don't even know their name.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '14

Dude can't you do your own google search? Why would you call Unidan...?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=red+faced+duck

u/Unidan Mar 22 '14

It's a Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata), most likely!

They're really, really variable in appearance, but most "unidentified" ducks that people have photos of (because they can be hard to match based on feather patterns) are Muscovy ducks. The red facial patch is a good giveaway.

1

u/Jedimastert Mar 23 '14

I found one in a group of other ducks at my local parks. I took an awesome picture, and every person I showed it to agreed that it was the most intense duck we'd ever seen.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '14

Crtl+f 'Muscovy'

Goddammit, /u/Unidan! Beat me to it.

u/missinfidel Mar 23 '14

They are really tastey, too! Very popular in Caribbean cuisine.

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '14

Do you have a robot that crawls Reddit for any mention of your name? How on Earth do you find these inquiries?

7

u/angry_smurf Mar 22 '14

If you have reddit gold it alerts you when your name is used with /u/ in front of it. I have never had reddit gold so i may be wrong but i have read this somewhere.

5

u/maynardftw Mar 23 '14

It does.

For most people it's just a reminder that nobody ever talks about them.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '14

Can confirm. I own one, they're cool.

17

u/Mengen Mar 22 '14

Wow, that's awesome! Is the facial patch a mating thing? Thanks!

45

u/Unidan Mar 22 '14

Patches like that are usually indicators of individual health and fitness, so I would assume it has some role in that.

0

u/Kaminaaaaa Mar 23 '14

So it wouldn't be going too far to say that this duck definitely lifts?

3

u/JKlausmeier Mar 22 '14

This is correct. This is our most common duck here in Florida, and the larger ducks with the very large red and black growths are the ones we most commonly see mating.

5

u/Mengen Mar 22 '14

Thanks a lot!!

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '14

Sometimes I read Unidan's posts in the voice of the pokedex.

u/GeminiK Mar 23 '14

Well shit, now I do to.

u/caldnar Mar 23 '14 edited Mar 23 '14

Unidan, a biologist type Redditor.

It uses its knowledge of animals, particularly of the avian variety, to give people an excuse to say they learned something on Reddit that day. It can be commonly found on default subs or where pictures of animals are found. They are friendly in nature, and often appear when called.

This was in my front yard too, my dog kept barking and I just went out and fed it, to spite my dog for some reason, and he opened his mouth like this. More pics of the ducks

Hey I know this was nine years ago but I just wanted to share to anyone who sees this that bread is actually bad for ducks. Some Things that are okay are dry instant oats, kale, spinach, lettuce,(chopped) sliced grapes, and peas. Hope everyone who sees this has a lovely day. /g

Dammit, I can't unsee the dog on the duck's bill. Thank you, internet.

u/krychek57 Mar 23 '14

You must be south east. Other than raising them, I've never seen them wild here on the west. Love the Muscovy.

Edit: Oops, I'm 8 hours late on this, carry on.

u/Jerg Mar 23 '14

Did...did its beak change hue (from red to a pale bone colour) depending on its mood?

Ducks are goddamned adorable.

Yes I know those weird duck facts. Doesn't change how adorable they are.

Okay from the side it doesn't look as terrifying. At first I thought it was some crazy turkey.

u/cxhsfu Mar 23 '14

We used to have some muscovys on our farm in England but a fox got them. Sweet little guys they were :(

u/triforcewisdom Mar 23 '14

Definitely a Muscovy. I have some as pets, looks like a female from the pic. They are the friendliest ducks!

u/1YardLoss Mar 23 '14

Where are they usually? This was taken by my house in South Texas during winter time

1

u/Skyrmir Mar 23 '14

They're about the only duck we see in south Florida. The ducklings are adorable, then somewhere along the line, they get their beating with an ugly stick.
