    “So I just go to school, work work work, then I’m an adult, work work work, for my whole life?”

    Yup. Sorry kiddo.

        Forced Copulation

        The most striking example of aggressive behavior in mallards occurs later in summer as unpaired males will try to force copulation with females.

        These encounters can result in some very loud and intense exchanges of vocalizations and distressed activity from the female and her partner.

    I wonder about becoming a hermit sometimes. Then, I think about all the other people who are probably crowding the woods with their hermit turf wars.

      I imagine after a while the government that owns most of the uninhabited wilderness would track you down with satellites and drones and evict you too
