"He's not a stepdad, he's a dad who stepped up"
Get ready for The Ugly Duckling 2, as this sweet emu might be the reason we are all going to have a sequel for the heartwarming children's tale…
There are countless stories of different sweet animals adopting another kind of animal in need of a family. For example, you hear a lot about mama cats that adopt pups without a mother, and then as the pup grows up, you get to see how being raised by a cat has changed their behavior.
Which is why we are excited to see what the future will bring to the couple in this video - a baby duck and an emu.
After this heartwarming farmer found this duckling but could not find its mother, she introduced the baby to her hilarious companion - Emmanuel the emu. While Emmanuel is known for being quite an energetic emu in other videos, as soon as he meets the baby duck, he steps up and practically adopts it, cuddling with the duckling and giving it all the love.
