How do ducklings stay together near water?
Ducklings follow their mother by listening to her distinct calls and watching her movements. This instinct helps keep the brood safe from predators.
Do lily pads grow flowers above the water?
Water lilies bloom above the water surface, opening their colorful blossoms during the day and closing them at night or during rain.
