UTEP says the new exhibition unveils the surprising connection between humans and ducks.
From adorning feathered heads in ancient times to becoming viral video sensations in the digital age, ducks have embedded themselves in the very fabric of human existence, according to UTEP.
The exhibit invites visitors to embark on a historical excursion that spans centuries, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of the human and duck dynamic.
Additionally, the exhibit includes information about the work of Phil Lavretsky, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, who studies duck evolution and the ecosystems they call home.
