The “Five Little Ducks” were met with a grizzly end.
A zoo bear named Juniper shocked guests at a girl’s birthday party after devouring ducklings that had landed in its enclosure, as seen in a video with over 2 million views on TikTok.
“A #natgeo trainwreck for my daughters’ birthday, thanks JUNIPER,” mother Rachelle captioned the clip of the impromptu feeding.
She and her fellow revelers, which comprised both adults and children, had reportedly been celebrating her daughter’s birthday at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington.
The bash took a turn when the party-goers stopped by the bear exhibit and witnessed a 2-year-old female coastal brown bear, named Juniper, eyeing a momma duck and her ducklings that had alighted in the enclosure.
That’s when the humongous quack addict decided to make its move.
In the traumatizing clip, the mother duck and her brood are swimming through the pool as Juniper watches them hungrily from the bank.
All of a sudden, the hangry bruin jumps into the drink and makes a bee-line for the ducklings, causing them to scatter across the pond. She then proceeds to gobble them up one by one like chicken nuggets as the onlookers gasp in shock.

Fortunately, Rachelle assured viewers that the kids were not “traumatized” by the quacker-crunching carnage.
“We see wildlife doing their thing all over where we live,” she said, snarking, “Oh and we also let them watch Dave Attenborough shows *gasp.*”

Mother Nature’s a mean momma!
Yeah, yeah. I corrected myself. *QUACK!*
Circle of life.
We took our Cub Scout Pack to the San Antonio Zoo years ago and a squirrel fell into the tiger area and we got to see the tiger chase, kill, and eat the squirrel. Circle of Life moment...
Truly it was a fowl deed
“Be kind to your web-footed friends, for that duck may be somebody’s mother...”
I guarantee if the stupid parents shut up, the kids either would have no idea what happened, or not be bothered as much. That “jUniPEr!!!” Lady is a moron. Someone throw her in the water
Show the kids of families at the dinner table, eating chickens and cows and pigs. Will they be as horrified? It’s the way of nature, though people dress up the act of eating animals as something different. It’s just PETA, people eating tasty animals. BETA is bears eating tasty animals. ;)
The mom made sense to me. The ugly part of nature but it is what it is.
In the last part of the article the mom said the kids watch David Attenborrow. She didn’t appear to be stupid to me.
The animal kingdom is viscious.....matter of survival for them....most kill others in one way or another.
Geez imagine the meltdown if Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom was on in this day and age......
[[He kills because he personally needs to eat.”]]
Yeah not so much- sure he kills because he’s hungry, but they also kill hyenas, cheetahs, baboons, other lions from different tribes, lion cubs, etc etc etc- all of which have nothing to do with hunger-
Yep, my brother still raise a turkey that becomes the main course on Thanksgiving. Remember once going over for a Sunday dinner and complimenting his wife on the chicken. My youngest nephew piped up ,”It’s Henrietta. “
I think it’s their primordial instinct to live and kill if necessary to do that. I believe even mankind has that instinct and we’re supposed to be the top species on the planet.
I like eating both bear and duck.
No different than opening our borders inviting in the Islamists and terrorists.
Same people making those stupid decisions.
You know how many lib Biden voters watch Attenborough? (The correct spelling)
Adults are stupid these days.
