Some days you look out of the window and it’s a regular day, on others there’s a giant inflatable duck with sunglasses rolling loose on the streets.

This is the situation Twitter user Marc Wallace was faced with when he looked out onto the street in Des Moines, Iowa – and it’s a sight that will chill your soul.

Oh, the humanity.

So, where did the wild beast appear from?

According to local news the duck, real name Quacky, was part of a promotion for a fundraising duck derby for Youth Emergency Shelter and Services (YESS) in Iowa before it escaped.

Helped by its accomplice the wind, Quacky rolled two blocks before coming to a halt and being dragged back by YESS staff.

“I am happy to report the duck is back home in its nest and very safe and undamaged,” Stephen Quirk, CEO of YESS, told the Des Moines Register.
