FEET
Male and female ducks persumably
have the same shape of web feet, but we shall
never know for sure, because the girls always
wear shoes while boys do not (the repeated
exception is Scrooge who, in his younger years,
normally wore different types of shoes as can be
seen in several flashbacks in the stories). Still,
we might hope that the girls' feet are
considerably narrower, otherwise they are bound
to have obvious problems when they put on their
narrow shoes - just think of Grandma and her
pointy bootees!
The boys' feet are of an especially
sturdy construction; they can run through rough
terrain, they can drop objects on them, they can
- literally - go through the coldest winters on
them. Nothing seems to harm them seriously.
Another astonishing feature is their
ability to move quicker than the eye. In numerous
stories we have witnessed how the ducks can move
extremely fast on their feet. In fact, they move
so quickly that we do not even see them!
