Man Raises Ducklings As His Own Children; Trains Them To Go On A Hike With Him

The debate over who is man's best friend is unsettling. While dogs and cats are the frontrunners, a man in South Korea is shattering this traditional notion.

The man, who resides in Seoul, is often followed by a flock of 21 ducklings who follow him wherever he goes - even on adventure trips.

According to report in Good Times, the ducklings follow the man on almost all outdoor acitivites, including hiking rough terrains and slopes. The man began to take care of the ducklings when he was unsure whether they would be able to survive on their own. The man even decided to train them to follow a route between his house and the forest.

The ducks only respond to the man's call and follow his orders. According to the video shared online, the man is indeed the certified father of the ducklings. The unusual bond has left people amazed and amused. As per the same report, the man even kept the eggs warm till they hatched, which explains the bond between them.
