While on summer vacation in Kelowna, BC I was walking along the beach and noticed a mother duck with a row of her ducklings following closely behind her in a orderly line. The water was rough bouncing the ducklings up and down making for a difficult swim. A lucky duckling got the privilege to ride on the moms back however every now and then the rough waters would bounce her off the mothers back and the next duckling in line would fight for the chance to go for a ride.
