So as is my usual experience of Wikipedia, I'd long forgotten what I was originally looking up when many fascinated clicks had brought be to someplace of real interest. In this case, Animal Sexuality. Under "Animal necrophilia", I came across the case of a duck apparently having dies in the middle of sexual activity, and its partner continued, uncaring. Thus we got his little gem, which is, sadly, just slightly too long to make into a t-shirt and slightly too edgy for a Far Side caption.
After the live bird was shooed away, inspection of the dead mallard revealed that it was male, thus making this the first observed case of homosexual necrophilia in mallards.
