Cold duck

In the news, there's the story of cold duck.
Nope, not the cheap champagne.

But the miraculous duck that survived two days in a refrigerator.

Neither gunfire nor two days in a refrigerator could slay this duck.

When the wife of the hunter who shot it opened the refrigerator door, the duck lifted its head, giving her a scare.

The man’s wife “was going to check on the refrigerator because it hadn’t been working right and when she opened the door, it looked up at her,” said Laina Whipple, a receptionist at Killearn Animal Hospital. “She freaked out and told the daughter to take it to the hospital right then and there.”

How did it survive the refrigerator? According to the vetrinarian cited

... the duck, which has a low metabolism, could have survived in a big enough refrigerator, especially if the door was opened and closed several times.

The duck not surprisingly was described as passive. Which might explain why it passed for dead for 2 days.
