A curious incident recently occurred in the Stuttgart subway.
As a viral video on TikTok shows, things can sometimes be animalistic here.
Stuttgart – Someone must have gotten really lost: Two passengers recently got on at a subway station in Stuttgart that one would not actually have located there.
A video on
TikTok
shows a cheeky duo of ducks waddling comfortably onto the train.
Cheered on by a group of young women, who film the procedure, the birds venture into unknown territory.
TikTok video: "Oh my god, are they getting on the train?" - Women laugh at ducks
"Oh my God, are they getting on the subway?" shouts one of the young women in the video.
"Please say they're getting on!" It doesn't take long before their wish is granted: the ducks walk purposefully through the sliding doors of the train.
Spluttering with laughter, the observers keep their cameras on the animals.
The video became a viral hit: more than 2.1 million people (as of November 8, 12:31 p.m.) have already seen it, as reported

.
Even before the ducks' journey has even really begun, it's over again: a subway employee drives the funny companions out of the wagon.
On
TikTok
, the clip, which the young women apparently recorded after a night of partying in the club, caused a lot of laughter.
In the comment column of the video, the ducks are jokingly referred to as "dodgers" who actually have to "pay 60 euros" for their action.
"Best passengers," comments one user.
Another jokes: "Yes, what should they do.
Gasoline is just too expensive.”
Animals in downtown Stuttgart: Birds of prey are also on the rise
The ducks, meanwhile, aren't the only animals roaming around downtown.
Since the beginning of the year, more and more wild animals have been conquering the urban area of Stuttgart.
In addition to red and black kites, hawks and buzzards, even kestrels nest in Stuttgart.
The reason: Mild winters cause the population to explode, while at the same time people are getting closer and closer to the animals through construction projects - at some point they can no longer avoid them and instead conquer the city area as new territory.
