Most of the people online fawn over puppies and kittens, but the animal kingdom has so much more to offer than just the most popular variety. We just had the most amazing opportunity to see mossy frogs as well as snails that look like they were created by Dracula himself, but now it's time to look at some genuinely fascinating farm animals.

Turns out, there's a duck breed with a peculiar characteristic — an adorable tuft of feathers atop the animal's head. It's speculated that this breed (or similar species) has been around for 2000 years. And while it's been known to farmers for hundreds of years, people on the internet just recently discovered this adorable breed of ducks.

It wouldn't be the internet, if pictures of this particular duck weren't quickly turned into a meme. Many compared the crested ducks to George Washington, 18th-century judge, and more. And honestly? We agree! It definitely looks like those ducks wear a wig of some sort. Now that's a conspiracy! Scroll down below to check them out and don't forget to comment and vote for your favorites.

The Crested is a breed of domestic duck. It was probably brought to Europe from the East Indies by Dutch ships.[1]:413 It has its appearance because it is heterozygous for a genetic mutation causing a deformity of the skull.

    Perhaps these duck are related to a near extinct band of ducks - identifiable largely because of their down-turned bills. Check YouTube- search “a Chick named Albert.” The newer videos feature rare hatchlings. The Youtuber has spent 30 years hatching eggies into ducks! Quail, EMU, mini birds... but you have to be in the right space to get into it. Relaxed and calm. The videos are lovely and cathartic for times like these. Good to watch while winding down for sleep.

    I love ducks. When I was little we got our first duck and she was in LOOOOOVVVVEE. with my father. Followed him everywhere. Oddly, she was friends with our small collie dog - who would (not kidding) carry her around by the the neck. All the time. While (obviously) following my dad. I have 8mm movies of it. Yes I’m old. There was so much trust among the three of them - dad, dog and duck. I thought I lived in paradise. I did, actually. A muddy humid paradise. Being 4 was spectacular... 54 years ago! Life was magic that year..
