A remarkably large bird has left the internet stunned. "Long Boi," originally shared on Reddit, is a cross between an Indian Runner duck, pictured here, and a mallard. What you get as a result of this breeding is a rather menacing duck of stately height that makes its peers look diminutive and weak.
Snopes reports that Long Boi isn't abnormally tall, though. He is considered to have the average height of an Indian Runner. In that case, I hope to never come across one of these.
Long Boi was originally seen on the campus of York University in the United Kingdom. In the first image seen of him, the "absolute unit," as they say, stood tall and proud while his surroundings looked puny in comparison. According to BuzzFeed News, Long Boi also boasts an honorary degree from York University, more than 7,000 followers at his account @longboiyork, and for his especially dedicated fans, he has a merch line.
“The duck has done so much for the university: from encouraging freshers to attend York to keeping students’ morale high during the pandemic, he is a perfect ambassador for York and is fully deserving of this.”

This meme does a comparison between two huge figures for the purpose of scientific study and strictly nothing more. If you remember Resident Evil Village's promotional trailer, you might recall that physically intimidating vampire Lady Dimitrescu. You might even remember how horny the internet got for her. That's besides the point.
Hold on.
