If you like small, cute, fluffy things, you’ll love this.
Keepers at Chester Zoo have captured incredible footage of a rare Asian Baer’s pochard duckling hatching from its shell inside an incubator.
Just a few hundred of the ducklings remain in the wild, while around 250 live in conservation around the world.
Chester Zoo’s curator of birds, Andrew Owen, said: “Our two new white-winged ducklings are very important birds given that their numbers are extremely low in the wild. Our dedicated bird team will be keeping a very close eye on them to make sure they make it through to adulthood.
