    "The tallest mallard duck to have ever lived (since records began) known as 'Long Boi.' He lives on the campus of the University of York, England. He stands just over 1m tall (3.5ft)."

    Long Boi is a real duck, and this image is real, however it is not a mallard duck, but an average size Indian Runner. The reason it looks tall is that it is standing next to short mallard ducks. It is also not 3.5 feet tall, but 70 centimeters. snopes.com/fact-check/lon…
