Duck and Child in Residential Area
Safely protected after being caught
June 29, 2012, Tokyo, Japan - A spot-billed duck and eight ducklings waddle across the back alley of Tokyo's residential area on Friday, June 29, 2012. June 29, 2012.
The family took a short distance walk from their habitat, a pond at a local manufacturer of electric cables, to a neighboring printing factory. Not knowing where they came from and what to do with the unexpected visitors, the factory staff treated them with care by spraying water before police came to the rescue. The siblings were rounded up to be brought back to their nest but their mother flew away. (Photo by AFLO) UUK -mis-
