This highlights the openness of Denmark. In most other countries, this would be prohibited.
This belongs in the common phrases section right next to "hej" and "godmorgen"
I got that wrong because i just thought it couldn't possibly be right...

Yes, that's correct, although "birthed a baby" would normally be said as "gave birth to a baby".
On the assumption that the sentence has to make some kind of sense, I wrote "The bear was feeding the duck". Well, think again! :D
I am pretty sure that would mean "the bear was born LIKE a duck." I think if you take out the "som" from that sentence it would be correct, however wonderfully ludicrous it is. :)
My Danish boyfriend said; "But it is a free world. You can do as you please!!!" :/
Is this from a folk tale? My translation "the bear bore a duck" was rejected though bore is often used as a synonym for giving birth. It sounds less strange, but can seem to mean that the bear carried a duck.

Oh come on. These sentences have been weird before. But now bears aren't just eating sandwiches or stealing women's beer, they're giving birth to ducks!
It's good to know that Denmark is pushing back the bounderies of tolerance and acceptance!
The stupidity of this sentence makes me question my choice of Danish apps.
That's exactly the point. Logical sentences are easier to translate, because you already know what it's supposed to be, without actually being able to translate the sentence. With these nonsensical sentences you actually have to know what you're doing, to be able to get it right.
It was stupid in the last lesson. Why is it being repeated? Use realistic examples!

What kind of flipping nonsense is this? Have they never heard of the workings of natural selection and evolution?
These Danes are crazy. Ridiculous cross species mating. What next.
