In this video that went viral on the internet a few days back, a duck shows us how a little presence of mind can save you from difficult situations or even life-threatening situations. Life can often put you in difficult situations and it is upon you to tackle these situations in the smartest way possible, just like the duck did in this video.

In a video that was shared online people can see a belted white dog standing on a lawn of a house. In front of a dog, there is a duck lying flat on with no movement whatsoever looking like it is dead. But to everyone’s surprise, it was not the case. As soon as the dog gets distracted and runs a little farther from the duck, the smart bird realizes it’s an opportunity and runs for its life.

This behavior of the duck is often seen in various creatures in the wild as well to protect themselves from predators. This behavior is known as tonic mobility. Tonic immobility means when some creatures act temporarily dead with no movement at all to protect themselves from predators. This is also known as anti-predator behavior.

This video is proof that however difficult a situation you might be in your life, there is nothing that a little bit of smartness and presence of mind cannot do.
