Mother Duck Needs Some Help
Commuters in Salt Lake City stopped their vehicles on
Highland Drive -- not for traffic, but for a mother duck who
lost her babies in a storm drain.
A commuter saw the mother duck hysterically walking across the
street, and decided to stop and help. Another passerby soon
joined and the two spotted several baby ducks stuck in a nearby
storm drain -- located near 5800 South Highland Drive.
The commuters stayed with the birds until animal services
officials arrived.
Rescuers pulled the baby ducks up from the storm drain, but
catching the hysterical mother was a bit tougher because it kept
running out into the street -- where cars passed.
The mother duck was eventually captured and reunited with her
ducklings. The birds were later taken to a pond -- far from the
dangers of rush-hour traffic.
