MARIO
the duck
Mario is a real male white duck, aged two. He is a character
of the adaptation of the Servant, presently performing at the MRT. This
is his first appearance on stage, nevertheless he's very respectful and
confident in his future. He's the pet of the company, and the audience
love him.
Major concern of the humans performing with him is: how can he seem so
natural on stage?
Duck,
any several short-legged water birds with webbed feet and flattened bills,
of the family Anatidae, which also includes the larger geese ands swans.
Ducks were domesticated for eggs. Meat, and feathers by the ancient chine
se and ancient Maya. Most duck live in fresh water, feeding on worms and
insects as well as vegetable matter. They are generally divided into dabbling
and diving ducks. The three front toes of a duck's foot are webbed and
the hind toe is free. The bill is skin-covered with a horny tip provided
with little plates through which the duck is able to strain its food from
water and mud. The main threat to the survival of ducks in the wild is
the hunting by Humans.
