I was surprised – and amused – to find these pictures of what looks like a steampunk duck on English Russia.
It’s a working ‘duck car’ that seems to have attracted a lot of interest from onlookers.
Apparently it’s on the way to California (presumably by air, although I doubt whether that means using its own wings). Considering the other weird, wacky and wonderful things that float around there, it should fit right in!
There are many more – and larger – pictures at the link. Fun viewing.

Originally from the USA!! Made in Humboldt, CA — The Duck FlambĂ© was only visiting Russia. The owner, Bart Dorsa, took it to Moscow for about 3 weeks of fun.
Here is the original construction, if you'd like to see how we made it…
