Have you ever seen a fight between carps and an attacking duck?

Hi jisir, thanks for sharing the photo and also for taking the time and trouble as well to translate the interesting news here. Here in my place, do have ponds in different recreation parks where we could find lots of carps swimming in the water. During the childhood of my son, my hubby and I liked to bring him to the nearby park to watch and to feed the carps in the pond. We always brought along with us a pack of crust. Some visitors and their kids even brought with them the whole loaf of bread. Carps liked eating crust and bread very much. Kids had great fun watching the fish chasing for the crust on the water. Very often kids liked to throw whatever thing they had to the carps when finished throwing the crust and bread. It was really interesting and fun that carps would chase anything that happened to fall into the water. The quick response of the fish school was so amazing and this aroused the great interest of the kids as well as my son to keep on throwing thing to them. The numerous carps swimming around would race for the fallen crust at the same time. The duck in the photo just like the piece of crust floating on the surface of the water. From what I had noticed so far I know carps like chasing whatever thing that fallen onto the water and think that the stuff fallen is their food. They are rushing forward together to give us an impression that they unit together to fight against any creature on the water. I haven’t seen any duck attacking carps before and I won’t believe duck has interested much in those carps. Duck likes only smaller fish and other small aqueous creatures that it can swallow. I believe the carps there definitely would feel disappointed as the stray duck not their favorite food. The carps would leave the duck alone and be attracted immediately if there was a new piece of fallen crust nearby. posting and have a nice day.

Hi Wiliam That's an amazing thing you have shared with us! 'Struggle for existence' and 'Survival of the fittest' could not not have been better shot! So much things have become obvious. How we stand when united and how fellowship, herdship, community help us live life peacefully. An eye opener, simply outstanding!

This shows that co-operations makes us much stronger. Initially I didn't know what is the carps that you meant. After reading the news title, now I know that you meant 'li yu'. The duck is the fish arch enemy, but this incident showed that the duck couldn't defeat the carps if they resist together. This reminds me of the story of how a father showed to the fighting brothers the importance of staying united, by breaking a single stick but not for a bundle of stick. Thanks for such interesting sharing williamjisir. Have a nice day in Mylot!

Congratulations that you have more than 10000 posts here:) I think I have to work harder, as you can catch me anytime:) I haven't seen this fight before. It sounds very funny. Who won at last?:) I love China

Wow,even I visited the carps in the park several time before,I never saw what happened in your link!~`it must be very interested`just thinking that crowd of carps with one duck`~lol~~thanks for sharing william~`have a nice night in mylot~`

wow! what a grand scene it was indeed. And very colorful too! I've never heard anything of this scale before. I thought fishes helping each other was only something I've seen in Finding Nemo. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers~

Hello my friend, so many of us are guilty of taking the wonders of nature for granted that to witness this event is to really appreciate what we have in this world! That is truly wonderful to see. That duck was taught a lesson good and proper! Thank you for sharing this with us, it made me smile, the duck will have to find his supper somewhere else now for sure and I think he has been put off fish for life after that experience!

What you are seeing is the fish just trying to find some food to eat and not attacking the duck. When there is commotion in the water where food is normally thrown the fish will come to get their fill. The duck was making the noises that the fish thought was food being thrown into the water. I have seen similar instances of fish and ducks.

wow.. that is really something.. i wish i could have been there to see this for myself. it kinda make feel sad, thinking about how we human.. (in my country, anyway) have become so selfish, self-centered and not concerned about others.. people are just 'scared' to get involved or help another person..

I have never heard of anything like it happening before and those are the most amazing pictures I have ever seen. I have never seen so many fish in all my life I would have loved to have been there! I am glad that the duck managed to escape although it will teach it a lesson I doubt that duck will bother them fishies again!

Oh!!! what a great scene.. This is a good lesson of unity. Smart carps, if people are like this? helping each other to fight the attackers of some sorts? it would be a good thing. It is indeed a good watch...

I checked the Picture. This is definitely a rare event and an interesting one too .

Hi W.J.S...that was a very interesting piece of news.I did enjoy the pic and the news.And it is a typical example of the proverb "Unity is strength".....It showed how during adverse conditions the fish united together as one and succeeded in driving away the big predator,the duck,by their collective strength........
