The Animal Uprising™ appears to have been successful in its drive to create a four wheel drive duck. Stumpy, who we first wrote about in February, is thriving and running around like the wind on his multitudinous appendages. The bad news is that he is being kept with a female duck for companionship. Just wait, there will be hundreds of these creatures soon.
Mrs Janaway said that Stumpy would not have had a chance of survival in the wild but she was looking after him as best as she can at the farm.
She said that he had now grown into a full-size duck and will grow only about another inch.
She said: "He's doing really well. He is still very tame and loves all the attention he's been getting."
Mrs Janaway said that Stumpy would have to live in a pen for the rest of his life but had been paired up with a female duck for companionship.
She said: "He won't be allowed to roam the farm because his back legs stick out and could get caught in brambles and I might never find him.
"So we're making a very big pen for him to make sure he is kept safe and he has been paired up with Alice – he seems a very happy duck."
Of course he's happy. He's got four legs and a bride, too.
Millipedes laugh at him.
Maybe his bride is a foot fetishist.
