Mixed
Baby ducks swim behind their mother in a straight line to conserve energy and stay safe, using waves created by the mother to reduce water resistance and keeping the family together for protection.
Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).
The claims about ducklings swimming in formation behind their mother are plausible and align with known animal behaviors, but no external evidence was found to confirm these specific claims. Such formations are commonly observed in nature for energy conservation and protection, but without direct evidence, the claims remain unverified.
