A DUCK has become famous on social media for being walked on a lead in Glasgow.
"Frosty" has been spotted at popular spots including George Square, St Enoch’s centre, and Glasgow Fort while on a leash or in a child’s pram.
The bird is believed to be an emotional support animal (ESA) which provides companionship and support to people.
Shoppers have been left both baffled and buzzing after spotting Frosty who even wears boots while being taken walks.
Ryan McGinlay was one of the people who spotted Frosty and took a picture captioning it: "Someone’s taking their DUCK on a walk at the Glasgow Fort.
"Yes, that’s its pram!"
The cute creature became viral on TikTok as the account FrostyTheDuck gained hundreds of followers and thousands of likes.
Frosty’s owners have remained anonymous at this time, but have interacted with followers on social media by thanking them for their support.

One fan asked: “Curious to know how you end up with a pet duck? I saw you up the fort on Friday night.”
The account replied: “Hubby made a joke about it and I went and got one.”
They also explained how Frosty’s shoes are from Temu and that they are cautious of dogs while out on walks.
Other followers were quick to share their thoughts and admiration for the popular bird.
One person said: “Nice meeting sweet frosty today in George Square, brought a smile to a cold evening. Thank you.”
A second person said: “Think this wee duck was out on a walk on Halloween. I loved that, it was the highlight of my night.”
A fourth person said: “My son loved showing Frosty his duck yesterday at the fort.”
A fifth person said: “I am sure it was the same duck in the Lidl Robroyston where I work.”
A sixth person said: “I missed my train because I stopped to pet Frosty but it was so worth it.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
