Back in my days ducks were just fish with extra wings and legs

Please narrow it down, how many extra wings and legs?

Biblically accurate duck

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

5 legs would be some weird Cambrian Explosion experiment. They got buck wild back then!

Is 5 legs duck asymmetrical, like one side is heavier than another and needs one extra leg there? or all 5 legs are along a central symmetry plane of a 5 legs duck?
