...damn if I didn't see a poor, lone she-duck get ran through by a mob of mallards one time - shit is not for the weak. I was just sitting at a park when I heard it and saw it and then realized what was happening...and I'm looking around, like wondering if I should get some people, or call for help, or break it up, or just do something for the poor girl.
...but then I remembered where I was and reminded myself "oh, nature" and how fucking grim the circle of life can be, from our human perspectives, anyways (not trying to place value judgements on any waterfowl, here) Nature really is weirder and wilder than sci-fi - it's so mind-blowing, incomprehensible and visceral and so...everywhere
