Trevor is dead, the most solitary duck in the world – 28/01/2019

Trevor, the "loneliest duck in the world," who lived on the small island of the Pacific, Niue, died this weekend and sparked a wave of condolences.

On the Facebook page dedicated to the duck, they reported that he had been found dead in a bush after being attacked by dogs.

"It's a sad time for Niue, it has captivated the population of 1,600 people and the 9,000 tourists who visit us every year," ABC chief of the Niue Chamber of Commerce Rae Findlay told ABC on Sunday. .

Trevor became famous last year during a visit from New Zealand reporters to the island. It appeared a year ago in Niue, where there is neither a natural pond nor suitable habitat for a duck. So we think he came up with a storm from New Zealand.

Later, he was baptized "the most solitary duck in the world". Niue Island, located approximately 2,400 kilometers northeast of New Zealand, is home to one of the largest reefs in the world.

The duck's name refers to Trevor Mallar, spokesman for the House of Representatives of New Zealand. "The deepest sympathy of the New Zealand people for the people of Niue," Mallard wrote on Facebook after the duck's death.
