Did You Know?
"Quack" sounds like "crack" from "crack of dawn" - the first light of day! Ducks are actually crepuscular, meaning they're most active during dawn and dusk. Ducks have excellent night vision and begin their day foraging for food as soon as there's enough light. The phrase "crack of dawn" originated in the 1880s, referring to the moment when darkness "cracks" to let in daylight. Most duck species sleep with one eye open to watch for predators!
