If this is true, then I've also just realized that the wood duck is not a duck. This whole meme is a little mallardocentric if you ask me.

I beg to differ. That duck is obviously trying to disguise itself as a Blue Scottie/Bloodhound mix.

I really wish I could have captured the dialog in my brain as I worked that out:
ducks in masks? *clicks link* no just regular ducks, so what's with the title? *looks at ducks* just ducks. *looks at images closely* just ducks. *looks at title* ... *sees image under title* ... *looks at ducks* no! *looks back and forth between duck and image, image and duck* ha!.. HA! *mind blown*
There should really be a term for that moment when you don't see something becoming the moment you do see something.
