In Popular Culture
Beatrix Potter's depiction of Jemima Puddle-Duck (pub. 1908) with a mostly upright, elongated posture, being an errant laying duck not trusted to incubate its own eggs, suggests that the actual duck she was based on, at her Hill Top Farm, Cumbria, was a Runner or derivative thereof.
Ferdinand from the 1995 film Babe is an Indian Runner Duck.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers another.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“All our civilization had meant nothing. The same culture that had nurtured the kindly enlightened people among whom I had been brought up, carried around with it war. Why should I not have known this? I did know it, but I did not believe it. I believed it as we believe we are going to die. Something that is to happen in some remote time.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
