Danes really care about ducks.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/OsoGegenHest

They're all really swans in Denmark...

They are directly descended from the famous Boston ducks. There is a "Wonderful Copenhagen" poster with a duck motive that reminds me of the American children's book "Make Way for Ducklings"http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA130725/550/travel_wonderful_copenhagen_MF01371_L.jpg

Of course the ducks are in Denmark. They read newspapers there.

Seriously, those ducks get around.

and back to the ducks

I typed "Where are the ducks in Europe" why is that wrong?

I typed this as well, and I agree that it should be accepted, because it's a far more natural construction in English than the literal translation.

Just a different word order. Try to translate word for word.

Somehow, I doubted this so much, I had to check the meaning of ænderne to be 100% sure...

Probably in the bar drinking wine.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/eik55

More like beer if in Denmark.

Do we always use 'i' for countries/continents?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/alexandra570439

an essential question


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ShayStibelman

Didn't they JUST say they went to china with the bears?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Brynn082407

They are everywhere


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Anna224987

"whereabouts" should be allowed, as it is more natural to use it rather than "where" in a question like this.

'Where are the ducks in Europe' sounds better to me, but is not accepted
