| Digesting Duck | The Canard Digérateur or Digesting Duck was an automaton duck created by Jacques de Vaucanson in 1739. The mechanical duck demonstrated the ability to eat kernels of grain, metabolise, and defecate them. While the duck did not actually have the ability to do this, it was hoped by Vaucanson that it was possible. (references) | ||
