CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A Florida neighborhood has an unwanted guest creating a lot of mischief.
The community invader isn’t a gator or bear, but a Muscovy duck.
The duck bit one man so severely that the injury sent him to the hospital.
Neighbors said the duck has been terrorizing them for weeks.
The ducks are a protected species in Florida, though the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a control order on ducks outside their natural range, which is actually Texas.
“They’re actually committing injury to individuals they should get rid of,” said neighbor James Sepulveda.
FWC says the ducks must be humanely killed or donated to educational or scientific institutes.injury
