Owl Raises Duck Eggs Believing They Are Her Own

Laurie Wolf is a wildlife artist and amateur photographer, who recently discovered an Eastern shriek owl and a little duckling in her backyard in Jupiter, Florida. She took a photo of the duo and sent it to the National Geographic.

Wolf first saw the owl that had taken up living arrangement inside a home box in Wolf's patio. A month later, Wolf noticed a cushioned thing in the crate with the owl, so she figured that it was an infant owl that was settling with its mom.

The owl had decided to raise the duckling as its own. It was a wood duck – known to live with shriek owls.
