In honour of National Rubber Ducky Day, here is today's quacky fun fact!
Did you know that...
"Rubber duckies help scientists. In 1992, three containers full of 29,000 rubber duckies fell off a cargo ship in the Pacific Ocean. The yellow birds drifted around the world. Eventually they washed up on the shores of England, Australia, South America, and the west coast of Canada. They have helped scientists learn more about waves and ocean currents.” (CBC Kids team, 2022)
