Long Boi, who has been living at the University of York campus since 2019, is presumed dead as he has gone missing for two months

Internet star and lover of bread and peas, Long Boi, has been presumed dead after going missing for two months. The tall duck, who had made the University of York campus his home, has not been seen in the area for a while, which has led officials to presume the worst.

Students took 2ft 4in mallard to their hearts when he arrived at the University of York campus in 2019. The waterbird went viral in 2021 after social media users crowned him the “tallest mallard to have ever lived”.
