The skin is crispier.

[pigwotflies.livejournal.com]

Much more strokable.

Duck season! Fire!

you're quackers!

[momentsmusicaux.livejournal.com]

They're the same, just depends which way round you turn the picture!

I think it looks more like a rabbit than a duck but that is probably the biologist in me speaking - the duck looks more like some sort of sea bird to me.

Is that more or less pedantic than asking you to define what you mean by better in this context? ;)

Rabbits are easier to prepare, but ducks are far more tasty. If I had to choose, I'd say the plucking is worth the effort.

[garunya.livejournal.com]

Rabbits make better pets, it's true, but I wouldn't be likely to have either as a pet...

In terms of food, however, duck is one of my favourites, so it's the clear winner here.

I'm not sure. Neither was Ray Moore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xxKB6p8RMs).

rabbits as pets, ducks for dinner

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Duck eggs taste great!

Duck season! Fire!

Damn your eyes, you beat me to the punchline...

Here in Queensland right now, definitely Ducks.

[vereybowring.livejournal.com]

Slow stew the rabbit and let the meat just fall apart them reduce that down and use it as a sauce for crispy roast duck. Possibly with shallots and bitter plums.

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Ducks are more closely related to dinosaurs.

[drdoug.livejournal.com]

Ducks are dinosaurs!

(No, really - in modern taxonomy, birds are regarded as the surviving part of the Dinosauria superorder, and what we think of as dinosaurs are 'non-avian dinosaurs'.)

Ducks might look all waddly and benign but really they are hyper-evolved Velociraptors. The dim quacking business is to lure us all in to a false sense of security.

So yeah, as you point out, way more awesome than rabbits. Or terrifying, come to that. Mind you, rabbits do a similar 'look unthreatening then go for you' trick, as revealed in at least two serious attacks on important figures of authority:
