On Saturday morning, 1/7/2012, Bill, Todd and I were admiring the previously reported Long-tailed Duck at Duck Pond at the Denver Zoo/ City Park. Bill Kaempfer suddenly noticed with horror an odd duck that had the head of one thing and the body of another. Other fearful monsters of this strain: Chimera: head of a goat, body of a lioness. Sphinx: face of a woman, body of a lion. Griffin: head of an eagle, body of a lion. The Fly, 1958 movie: head of a man, body of a fly, and by the way, a switcheroo vice-versa creature
Anyway, Frankenduck seems to have the head of a male Redhead, body of a Graylag Goose, or something. Questions: Can Steve Mlodinow identify this creature? If so will Ted Floyd let me add it to my Denver County list? If cooked, would it taste interesting like a turduckhen? Is there a Redhead at the zoo with the head of a Graylag Goose?
