Why . Duck po..n. Get W.. by Water

The answer is simple one: Because
a duck greases its feathers to turn
away water obtaining the original wa
terproof coat and setting an example
for man. There Is gland on the back
of a duck. near the tail, which emits
oil from the creatures body. The
duck firts this oil over Its thick,
smooth plumage. which then is almost
waterproof, and its body Is kept dry
and warm, though the water in which
It lives be cold and the weather Sc
we're.
