Because this is undeniably one of the cutest things you have ever seen. I found out about this from one of Cracked.com’s 17 More Images You Won’t Believe Aren’t Photoshopped. Check under heading 11.

These particular images can be found on the artist’s website.

PS: The images above are from the duck set afloat in Osaka. The artist made a number of these though, and set them floating in Auckland, Hasselt, St Nazaire, Sao Paulo, Elst, Rotterdam, Amsterdam (twice), Nürnberg, and Wassenaar. They all vary in size, but the St Nazaire duck is over twice as large as any other.
