The president will see you now: Mexico's World Cup duck meets Sheinbaum

Merlin, a two-year-old pet duck in a mini Mexico shirt, waddled onto President Claudia Sheinbaum’s press‑conference stage and quacked for cameras, becoming a viral moment.
He rose to fame after roaming the crowd during Mexico’s World Cup opening‑game celebrations on Reforma avenue and is now an unofficial tournament mascot.
Owner Karla Gomez plans to trademark Merlin hoping his fame helps the family—fun extras: he wears tiny shoes and reportedly enjoys a carnitas taco on Sundays.
