The wildlife photographer Brent Cizek decided to visit north Minnesota lakes for some photos. He was hoping to capture some intimate scenes of animals in their natural habitat. But in the end, Brent had no idea how intimate he would get.CIZEK TELLS MNN After a ride with his tiny boat on the lake, he then steer it at the shoreline. In the next moment he spotted what seemed to be a bevy. When he edged nearer he could see there was a mother duck and few ducklings. Only that the few turned into few dozen.Cizek recalls.The super duck mama was being followed by a staggering 56 ducklings.says.And it doesn’t took to long until his image went viral on social media.But at a closer look it turned out there were even more.he says.Most likely that wasn’t just a single brood, but a mixed family. But despite that, this duck is certainly the mom of the year!
