Drivers have to anticipate a lot of things on the road, but a gigantic duck isn't usually one of them.
But unfortunately, commuters in the great plains had to contend with Quacky last week.
Twitter user Marc R. Wallace captured video of an enormous inflatable duck that rolled down the streets of Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday. Its name was Quacky. It wore some pretty sweet sunglasses.
Apparently, it was supposed to be a part of the 11th Annual Duck Derby fundraiser hosted by the Youth Emergency Shelter and Services of Iowa until one of its tethers broke and it got away. The huge balloon tumbled its way through two blocks on a city street. Quacky didn't hurt anyone, but did impress many.

According to the Des Moines Register, Quacky broke away from the event due to heavy winds, but was quickly captured by the staff.
Of course, Twitter was quick with duck puns or whatever jokes fit the bill.

"I am happy to report the duck is back home in its nest and very safe and undamaged," Stephen Quirk, CEO of Youth Emergency Shelter and Services of Iowa told Des Moines Register.
Luckily, no cars or pedestrians were harmed and Quacky got the much needed care that it deserved after its big city adventure.
