China is fighting invading "terrorists" from Pakistan and India (strange bedfellows, eh) with a novel new "army" made up of 100,000 ducks.
SOURCEA video shared by China’s state-run news site CGTN shows thousands of ducks waddling in legions down a road on their way to face the insects.One Twitter user said the ducks “look like the allies troops here”.
The brown birds, dubbed “duck troops” by Chinese media, have been used to tackle locust infestations before and can be more effective than pesticides.
A resident named Wang, from Xinjiang, told Chinese newspaper Global Times that previous locust outbreaks happened in the end of summer and autumn in the region’s grassland areas.
