Why do ducks have webbed feet? — Brandon of Pagosa Springs, CO

Dear Brandon,

God designed the world's creatures to fit the place where they are supposed to live. Ducks are well-suited to live in and around water. Like a pair of flippers on a scuba diver, webbed feet help ducks paddle through the water. If you watch them swim around in a pond, you can see God's wisdom in giving them those flippers!
