'Panther' ducks born May 20 find home in Lapeer West High School science courtyard

A Mallard duck and her nine ducklings have taken up residence in an interior courtyard at Lapeer West High School.

Lapeer West secretary Chris Sierakowski believes the ducks were hatched about May 20 and since then the mother has used a small pond in the courtyard to teach her offspring how to swim.

The home, which is right off the Lapeer West science classrooms, seems to be a relatively protected environment for the family.

The school's mascot is normally a Panther, but the ducks seem to be fitting in quite well. More pictures are available here.
