      Now there is an interesting question. A duck attacks by pecking with its beak, or by wrestling and neck grabbing. A horse attacks by nudging and kicking. I would have to say that supersizing a duck would make it a serious threat to a human, because a previously useless attack (wrestling and neck grabbing) becomes viable, and the pecking becomes downright lethal. Being nudged and kicked by 50 duck size horses doesn’t sound so bad.

      I’m going to opt for being attacked by the horses, and cooking the duck.

      Haha… This is a funny one..of course very likely to happen! Maybe 50 duck sized horses.. cus then you could pick them up… I wouldn’t like to be at the attacking end of a giant beak… imagine the mess its poo would make! 🙂

      Hi aherriott! Haha! This question is very creative!!

      I would take the 1 horse-sized duck! At least I could try to fend of one attacker. I don’t think I’d fair so well against 50 tiny horses …

      Can I clarify what “horse” we are talking about? ….coz if we are talking about a baby horse (and this particular baby horse http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2010/apr/28/smallest-horse-in-the-world-einstein) I would have to say one horse-sized duck. Because that would just be…welll….A DUCK!!!

      Incidentally if I had to be an animal I would choose a duck. They are immense. Word.

      Thanks for the question dude!! 🙂
