As we know the ocean is extremely large and deep, which contains innumerable creatures in it, and how many can be their number, we cannot even imagine. Here we are talking about living creatures, but do you know that once such a strange incident happened when 29 thousand toy ducks mysteriously appeared in the ocean. So let's try to know the complete story behind this incident.
The beginning of this incident started in 1992, when a cargo ship container full of bright yellow rubber ducks toys, and other bath toys tumbled into the North Pacific. Actually, this ship was traveling from China to America, when suddenly a storm came, which took the ship under its grip, resulting in the huge waves starting rising in the ocean. Due to this, the ship tilted to one side up to forty degrees, causing several shipping containers to be dumped into the waters, including one containing a consignment of 29,000 rubber duck toys. As a result, all these toy ducks emerged out of those containers and started floating over the water.

These duck toys didn't sink because they were made of rubber and that's how they floated in the ocean. Then a year later, due to the storms in the Pacific Ocean, they spread through water waves across the continent, which means almost into the entire world. But this event greatly surprised the scientists because this helped them to learn a lot about the flow of the ocean. Through this, they were able to track the movements of the Toys for information about great ocean currents, which affect the planet's overall climate. Of course, these ducks accidentally fell into the ocean, but the scientists were given a lot of information through this. And even today these ducks are floating in the ocean and are spread across the world.
