A Duck Story

Yikes! The strange case of the homosexual necrophiliac duck pushed out the boundaries of knowledge in a rather improbable way when it was recorded by Dutch researcher Kees Moeliker.
I can't believe this hasn't been posted here before. The research is from 1995, and I thought this was one of those internet classics that had long since gone into the archives.

It was posted previously in a comment. Worth its own FPP in any case.

This is just so odd, and there are parts of the article that I find immensely (disturbing) amusing:
...calling 'raeb-raeb' and apparently looking for his victim (who, by then, was in the freezer).
...although in this case it is not known whether the necrophilia observed was homosexual or not as the victim had been run over by a truck shortly before the incident.

The first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard anas platyrhynchos...
Hmm. Given the subject matter, I suspect the first part of the latin name has been misspelled.
terrible, terrible, terrible joke.

Reminds me of a friend who was researching combined sadism, necrophilia and bestiality, hoping to win a Nobel Prize. I told him that he was flogging a dead horse.

Wow. Perhaps the most amazing thing is that he went at it almost continuously for 75 minutes.

Hmm...so what you're saying is that even dead mallards are getting more action than I am. A disturbing article indeed, then.

Yesterday three male mallards were going at it at the duck pond across the road from me. I thought they were just confused or hormones were raging and no females were receptive. Who knew?!

Maybe they're evil ducks, a la Eddie Izzard

I think they were recruited by another gay duck... was there a mallard swimming away with a toaster?

Somewhere all the single ducks were gathering and complaining how all the drakes they meet are gay, taken or full of buckshot.

Here's a page with the abstract (or article, I'm not too keen with words like those) about Moeliker's findings (The article's a PDF).
