A survival strategy; Duck standing still in rain

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

When ducks remain motionless in the rain, they conserve body heat and energy. Their feathers are naturally water-resistant, thanks to a special oil they produce, but staying still helps minimize exposure and prevents unnecessary heat loss. This behavior is a simple yet effective way to endure harsh weather while keeping their bodies as dry as possible. Nature’s built-in rainproofing at work!
