  Subject: [NatureNS] Question: Underwater Predation Of Ducklings


        Hello All,

        My sister & her husband, who have a place on the Musquodoboit
Harbour near to where it joins the Musquodoboit River, have seen, on several
occasions, an unusual occurrence.
        A family of ducks will be swimming along (& the ducklings have been
of varying ages, anywhere from quite young to fledgling, size-wise), when
all of a sudden one would just disappear as if suddenly pulled under. It
does not re-appear. The rest of the duck family skitter quickly away.
        They were wondering what would be the most likely type of animal
that would and could do this. Seal, otter, some kind of fish, or bird?

        Thank you for your thoughts.

        Gayle MacLean
