Typhoon Danas inflicted significant damage on central and southern Taiwan, leaving up to 800,000 households without power at one point. The storm brought record-breaking gusts equivalent to a Category 13 wind force to Tainan, devastating many homes and leaving communities in disarray.
In the aftermath, a homeowner inspecting their backyard discovered a heartwarming scene amid the destruction. Careful examination of the photos shared on the social media platform Threads reveals something unusual: a white duck cleverly taking shelter inside a plastic bucket to protect itself from the storm.
The post quickly went viral, attracting over 2.69 million views and earning praise from netizens who admired the duck's intelligence and survival instinct. Comments included remarks like "Help it get out quickly," "Passed the duck power test," and "So smart and cute, yet a bit touching." Some even humorously quoted the duck saying, "Humans, I tell you, this transparent shelter is worth having."
However, some expressed concern for the duck's safety, criticizing the owner for not bringing the animal indoors before the typhoon hit. Comments reflected worry: "Why not bring the duck inside on typhoon day?" and "It was really dangerous yesterday; luckily, nothing happened."
Regarding the duck's condition, the original poster reassured followers in the comments that the duck was lively and active after emerging from the bucket.
