Have you ever wondered how mama ducks keep track of their very slow, very adorable, very slow ducklings? Well, sometimes they can't. Natural occurrences get in between them and their little feathery babies, and it's up to us hoomans to do something about it! The last thing we want is a mother and her babies separated, even if the ducklings are fine on their own. Contrary to popular belief, every baby animal needs their mommy, just like us humans!

In this next story, you'll watch a kind young woman rescue two ducklings that are trapped in what looks like a small brook, where streaming water rushes in and prevents them from being able to get out. She fashions a net with the help of some "lads" and finds a way to give her day some positive meaning. Scroll below to see our favorite snapshots and then the entire two-minute video!
