The 2021 New York City Marathon, which was held on the 7th of November, was a special event as it marked the annual event’s 50th anniversary. But what made the event more sensational was the participation of a surprising participant – it was Wrinkle the Duck. This rising internet star is a beloved pet waterfowl who is popularly known as the ‘emotional support duck’. And is now melting the hearts of people on social media.
Recently, Wrinkle has gone viral after her owner shared a video of her running in the NYC Marathon. The adorable duck can be seen running the race alongside other human participants.
