Crow has attacked a duckling. Aftermath !! NOT NICE to Watch 

She really doesn't want to leave him behind :(

Poor mother duck, she looks desperate trying to put her duckling upright and make it walk again.

A lot of birds (heron, gull) shake prey by the neck, maybe causing some nerve damage. Wonder if that's what happened.

To answer the question I noticed in comments. Yes, crows and other predatory birds (around that size) will weaken their prey into a submissive state. Then wait until the prey is tired out from fighting itself(lashing out) to get into a safer environment or until prey is weak from convulsing from pain and survival techniques. In this particular video, the crow had to wait for the surrounding ducks to disperse from the now tired and helpless duckling before it could go in for the kill.

This is an amazing video, you can see the parental instinct of the mother trying to revive her injured duckling.

Amazing how fast a crow is when hunting. Truly remarkable nature, even if it's a hard lesson for the duck parents.

Heartbreaking, but that’s nature.

Crow was like say ur good bye cause im coming to get it .

Thats the reason they get more then one chick....lots of dangers. Crows ,pikes ,rats ,storks, swans and many more.

Damn nature, you scary.

Yeah, the duckling was going to die anyway, you can see that its movements were becoming weaker, with it just flinching its feet by end. Also the duckling was in intense pain the whole time, based on its breathing rhythm.

Duck: I will not leave you behind. You are my child, my legacy, my precious gift of love...I will put you back to when you were able and pure. Crow: yeet

The duckling definitely suffered some nerve damage - crows grab prey by the neck and shake hard. Pretty sure this is what happened.

I think its good the crow took that duckling..that duckling was in so much pain and couldn't walk anymore..better to put him out of his misery..a nice big meal for the crow

Severe cranial and spinal trauma, causing random spasms in the duckling. It would've been picked off quickly if it had been able to get up as it would have likely had nerve and neurological damage

It's not heartbreaking... It's just nature. Crows have to hunt too for their survival

It looked like me trying to get my drunken bowling buddy out of the parking lot before the cops showed up.

"Later that night, high up the tree" "You sleep very soundly...FOR A MURDERER"

This is the 1st time i've actually seen a mumma duck tend to her ducklings. Usually they just watch them fail constantly.

everybody gangsta until the crow takes the kid having a seizure

Poor thing she’s trying to keep the injured badly safe while also keeping the other baddies from wondering off.

Didn't know crows eat other birds. You learn something new everyday.

That’s why nature creates so many offsprings because sadly not all of them will reach adulthood.

I like how the comments aren't 'why not help them?'

the crow was just like yeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

WOW!!! THAT'S LIFE!!! YOUR HERE, THAN YOUR GONE!!! CONTINUOUS CYCLE!!! 😔

Damn that little duckling got *snatched*. The reaction sound to the crow snatching that duckling made it seem like a movie lol

That's how it is in nature. The weak and the young are preyed upon. It isn't all cute puppies and cuddly kittens. Predators get hungry, they kill. Judging by the looks of it, that duckling was done at the first strike. Best thing to do was to just keep filming and let the crow finish what it started.

Ah yes wriggling duck , a delicacy in some country's !!

2:11 Who made that turbo noise?

Momma duck: "Shit, off switch won't work! I'll leave it until the battery runs out."

Crow:1 mama duck:0

Duck, duck, duck, CROW!!!!!!

Yeah and Confucius say duck that fly upside down quack up.

When a duckling acts like that, its usually done, raised ducks so ive seen it happen before, nothing you can do for them at that point

Why does this have so many dislikes? He told you it wasn't pretty to watch.

Mother really tried and did not want to leave it behind

I know that crows are pretty smart but I didn’t think that they would be precise enough to damage a duckling without landing on the ground, plus it was precise enough to cause major damage and incapacitate the animal, it is sad to watch but it’s incredible how skilled those birds are

The mama like get yo ass up before he come back. Poor little duck

Mama duck: Quack! Call 911! Crow: You called?

The crow has committed a "murder".

Naturalist: we should back to nature life. Nature: lol,

Nature can be brutal. Makes me grateful I'm not a duck.

2:10 CJ: I'll take that paper💵

When I stumbled upon this video, I immediately paused it and read the description, as I do for every video I watch. I do this to look for "hardened viewer" warnings, which are pointless if you watch the video first. I wasn't a "hardened wildlife viewer" at that time, but I decided to watch the video anyway. As a result I acquired Hardened Wildlife Viewer status. Hooray!

Oh that's so sad she's desperate for her baby to get up but the crow must have hurt it too badly😢💔

Death is almost never instantaneous which is a cruel fact of life

“Look ma I’m doin’ a swim up upside haha” “JIMMY NOOO”

Dear Eddie, the problem we have only seen a human an beautiful of our nature from BBC or national geographic etc. But the another side of bitter nature would be introduced by RU-vid.

2:10 Crow: YEET

Is the duckling having a seizure, or got injured because the crow attacked it before snatching it?

I wish the Mom duck was quick enough to give that Crow a little taste of the same treatment!

Aw, poor guy. Yeah, things get real at the duck pond.

"DAMN NATURE! YOU SCARY!"

Good lord that scream as the crow takes off with it xD

This was so difficult to watch. I’m glad the crow took the duckling, that way the duckling did not die for no reason

THE CROW WAS TRYING 2 HELP OUT. U CAN'T BLAME IT.

0:01 rappers fighting the “demons” at night

around crows, never relax.

This is nature, it happens pretty often

Is leg injured

The crow behind the slaughter-

You can't tell me that mother duck isn't feeling fear, panic, sadness, etc.

His Neck was broken after the first Attack... No Chance to survive.

Mallards are gentle souls. I have raised many to be released to the wild. I have removed hooks from them in the wild. It's sad to watch a duckling go like that.

In a Disney movie those bystander ducks would have helped out. In real life nature they don't give a fuck.

The mother starts to give chase but realizes she has to take care of her other ducklings and that one’s unfortunately beyond saving

So sorry for the duckling.

The mother at the start was like: "WAKE UP! ARE YOU ALIVE BABY??? SAY SOMETHING!! GET UP PLEASE!! 😰"

Oh well, its gonna die anyways. Good job crow for finishing it.

That’s why they lay more than an egg. Meanwhile it’s healthy ones are not smart enough to take shelter because of the lackluster parenting of the mom leaving the rest out to hang dry for the gimped out duckling. It’s amazing how they keep what they can alive sometimes. It’s gotta suck to be a duck sometimes. Maybe it will return as a crow in its next life.

I'm sure the crow was just taking it to a vet.

I was thinking where the crow was and thought the poster doesn't know what a crow looks like, was about to dislike 😂

It's a shame but I thank you for not interfering with the situation and for filming it so people see real life and death, I grew up on a farm and you learn how things work at a young age, I think most people would be shouting "save the duckling" but the instant the crow hit it that was it, all you would have done by stepping in was deprive the crow of its food and the duckings life would have been wasted, this is how the natural world works, obviously people "me included" feel sorry for the duckling and the mother duck but the instant the crow hit it the rest of the duck's knew it was game over...how can people have a go at you for posting this? It's just Life, if this offends you don't watch it and go sip your soy latte and leave it to people that appreciate getting to see a rare interaction, I'm going to sit down with my two small people tomorrow and watch and explain this to them, don't hide your next generation away from real life, the human race will not survive at this rate lol

I didn't click this I DIDN'T CLICK THIS!!!!

Unfortunately ducklings, like other fledgling or juvenile bitds, are often considered prey for the taking for a good many other animals within the ecosystem they are all a part of... I didn't even have to read the further descriptive to know that the crow would succeed in finally taking the duckling it downed... They usually do, and there's nothing mama duck can do about it, once the crow makes the initial attack...

They think it's all over!? It is now!

The crow said some "imma yetis this feetus"

I feel bad for the mother and her duckling, but I also understand the crow has to eat. One must die so another can live. In nature we cannot pick favorites.

I would not do anything neither. Crow attacked duckling well not my busniss the crow needs to eat to.

I like how the crow just dipped right as he grabbed the duck. Like yeeeet, see ya.

Blue jay landed on my picnic table and snatched a baby in front of me and flew off Grabbed it by neck.....

My patience could never

Crows are awesome....

She wants to help her baby so badly I feel very sorry! 😭

Instead of standing filming it dying why didn't you go & save it n take it to the local rescue centre??

Ok, for a solid revenge video, search for "strong mother cat catching a crow" to see some payback for the dark avian.

That was quite enjoyable.

The siblings look terrified and mom is heartbroken 😔💔

Crow:I wonder what I’m gonna eat... Crow Again: _Sees Helpless Duckling_ Crow: *Wack.*

I know you filmed nature as it is but I would have taken the duckling to see what I could do for it. But nature is both cruel and beautiful.

So cute that the little fella waved good bye at the end.

It's nature. Animals do what they do. At times it's hard to watch, that's just the facts of life.

me: ahhh... nature at its finest a wild vegan appears me:...... wish nature would take them soon

Everyone in the comments is saying how the killing of a vulnerable baby animal is "just nature," but if a lion ever injured and ate one of *their* children, they'd be bawling their eyes out.

Circle of life 🤷🏽‍♀️ that screech at the end took me......so sad 😞

The quacktermath of a crowtastrophe to be sure.

0:01-0:10 duckling.exe has stopped responding

Ducky: "oh well it's gone let's waddle and quack our way back to the water, waddle waddle waddle, quacky quacky quack" lol

It's the final countdown 😃 dont die on me argentina🇦🇷
