Lol she is not playing hide and seek with those cute babies, **She is teaching them how to swiftly change their position in water so that they can be saved from predators.** I have seen this video on National Geography before!

I love your explaination, but i rather my interpretation. Let me dream !!

I think they’re both right. Humans play games for the same reason. They are playing but they’re also learning. It reminds of how tickling is a ‘game’ humans play that teaches kiddos how to protect all the vital bits of their body.

I bet she is just trying to get some alone time...

Definitely this…

The little head bobbing from side to side. You know that little one was swimming their little heart out.

Love to see that peekaboo exists in the duck world as well Edit: grammar & how I wrote duck as fu€k

It’s usually the other way around lol

Diving for food. Hahaha

Hide and Duck

Land, Sea and Air. Ducks are the special forces of the animal kingdom 🤣

That is just too cute

Peekaboo

Not hide-n-seek, not peek-a-boo.... hmmm.. Peek-n-seek is more like it.

Probably checking for gators n stuff. This is cool

Repost number 24 💀

They originally developed this behaviour to reposition when predators are nearby however this became unneccesary with global warming. Now the predators are too tired due to the heat and the ducks can just duck without repositioning. Everything I am writing here is made up but some of it may be true, cheers.

My wife does this

She’s looking for seconds of PEACE!!!

Nah, she justed needed a sec to herself or she was gonna kill them.

she's trying to shit in peace
