MALLARD FIGHT!!!

Four Mallards emerged from the water and made their way into the leaves. There, they would engage in combat, biting and pushing each other around! At one point, it seemed like three of them were ganging up on the one.

It was a lengthy fight, lasting a few minutes. Other scuffles involving Mallards here have only lasted seconds. These ducks meant business! Like previous fights however, the ducks weren't very loud, they took their bites in near silence!

I broke the fight up once or twice, but they kept going at it! Eventually, they ran out of stream. Two Mallards left the fight, then the other two disengaged. When it was all quacked and done, the four returned to the water like nothing had even happened.

I wonder why this group was so aggressive. These Mallards are still juveniles, cheeping rather than proper quacking. They're siblings too. Maybe siblings fighting is just a universal constant among all species, just like in humans.
