Answer 2

Male ducks usually do not care for ducklings especially if they are not his own. He will protect his own chicks if the hen is present. Most drakes chase ducklings and can even kill them. Each duck is different however. I have seen male ducks take care of kittens, chicks, and even puppies.

Answer 3

No. If you see mounting behavior between two male dogs, the dog doing the mounting is establishing (or trying at least) dominance over the other dog. This behavior hearkens back to the dogs wolf ancestor.

Answer 4

No, this is impossible. First off, their genitals are different. Secondly, even if they could mate, they would never be able to reproduce together. Birds and mammals are incompatible in terms of reproduction, and the genes and chromosomes are incompatible.

Answer 5

Yes they would if their are no females around. However it is very unlikely to find two homosexual ducks, but it does happen.

Answer 6

A duck is a type of bird, so the answer is yes. When ducks mate, they are 2 birds mating. Ducks can't mate with just any type of birds, but only other ducks.

Answer 7

Yes, if the male duck is aggresive, it will kill the babies. Somtimes The mother duck will fight back.

Answer 8

No.
