A hunter shot the duck and wounded it in the wing and leg. He thought the bird was dead and left it in his fridge at his home.

The hunter's wife got a fright when she opened the fridge and the duck lifted its head.. Staff who are treating the bird said it has a 75% chance of survival.

A veterinarian at the sanctuary said he thinks the duck will live, but will probably never be well enough to be released into the wild. .

This is an extremely tough duck with a lot of spirit to live, and shows how tough and adaptable wildlife are..
