Super mom with 56 ducklings was in tow on a Minnesota lake

Brent Cizek, a Wildlife photographer, decided to visit north Minnesota lakes for some photos. He thought to capture some intimate scenes of animals in their natural habitat.

“The day was windy and the waves were tossing my boat around in any direction that it wanted to,” Cizek told MNN. “I decided to carry on, and I thought that I would not able to make photos”.
At last he steer the boat at the shoreline.When he edged nearer he could see there was a mother duck and few ducklings. Only that the few turned into few dozen.
“I have never seen something like this before,” the photographer explained. “As I got closer, the group decided to start swimming back out into the lake, and ‘Mama Merganser’ got out front and all of the chick got in tow. I knew that can be the only opportunity in my life, so I immediately tried to do as many shots as I could, just hoping that one of the photos would turn out.”
The super duck mama was being followed by a staggering 56 ducklings. “I found one image that I like the best,” he says. “I knew that it would do good on social media, so I posted the photo right away.” And it doesn’t took too long until his image went viral on social media.

However, at a closer look it turned out there were even more. “There were nearly 76 babies,” he said. “
Most likely that wasn’t just a single brood, but a mixed family. But despite that, this duck is certainly the mom of the year!
