When God created ducks He said Waterproof
This image contains text and a photograph of a duck. The text is a humorous caption that reads, "When God created ducks, He said, 'Waterproof that chicken and give it a kazoo.'" The duck in the photo is standing on what looks to be a gravel or dirt surface, likely near a body of water, which is a common habitat for ducks.
The duck itself is a typical example of the species, with a glossy brown and black plumage on its back, a lighter colored underbelly, and the characteristic yellowish-orange bill and webbed feet. It is standing in a profile view, looking to the right of the image with its bill slightly open, which is common for ducks when they are vocalizing or breathing after exertion.
The humor in the image derives from the anthropomorphic notion of ducks being deliberately designed by a divine creator with specific whimsical features. The references to waterproofing a chicken and giving it a kazoo comically imply that ducks are merely modified versions of chickens with some absurd upgrades; a waterproofing treatment that allows them to swim and a sound akin to a kazoo, referencing the distinctive quacking noise that ducks make.
Waterproofing is a nod to the duck's unique ability to swim with an oily coating on their feathers which repels water, allowing them to stay buoyant and dry. Chickens, by contrast, are not known for their swimming capabilities, hence the juxtaposition is humorous because it's absurd to imagine a chicken with When God created ducks He said Waterproof that chicken and give it a kazoo
