The term "Crocoduck" was presented in a children's story describing a crocodile raised in a duck family. It was later used by creationists to claim that the absence of any half crocodile, half duck chimera disproves evolution, an argument which quickly became a popular theme used to ridicule creationist misunderstandings.
The author and illustrator Chih-Yuan Chen from Taiwan produced the bestselling children's story Guji Guji in 2004, a modern day twist on The Ugly Duckling story in which a crocodile egg rolls into a duck's nest and is raised in a brood of ducklings, growing up as a "crocoduck" who thinks he is "not a bad crocodile," but "Of course, I'm not exactly a duck either."
