On the far side of the world, at a unique family winery, ducks are on patrol.
They’re on the lookout for tasty treats like snails and bugs - anything that could jeopardize a good wine harvest.
These Indian runner ducks, totaling over 1,200, help the Vergenoegd Wine Estate keep a lid on pests.
The ducks have been working this land since 1984 and have helped the estate earn the World Wildlife Fund’s biodiversity certification.
They have a parade everyday, so “duck” into the winery the next time you’re in South Africa.
