What is your opinion on ducklings?

Pretty fluffy.

rapist in training,

so yeah, pretty cool.

most of them die before maturity, just like many humans do. however because we have removed natural selection, most of us are never buried until many decades later.

I try not to hit them w/ my car

yep

>>38365266
just fyi, those ducklings got rescued

but yeah, babby animals are notoriously bad at keeping alive, almost as much as human babies. Sea turtles have a survival rate of about 1/1000 from birth to laying their first batch of eggs.

Well, human babies are born around cannibals wheres most of hatched turtles wont make it to the water because of lurking predators.

>mallards mature in about a year
>lifespan of 5-10 years (let's say 8)
>a female mallard will lay 12 eggs at a time
>12*8=96
>assuming stable population, 2 will survive long enough to reproduce for every female

That 98% of all ducks that don't make it.

An oyster will have 500 million offspring a year, and will life around 6 years. 3 billion in a lifetime.

assuming 1 for each reproducing individual
Less than 0.0000000007% survival.
fuck nature, morality doesn't exist, etc..
