Funny picture in my mind of a duck buried up to his neck!..
Mac will "bury" stuff also..everything, all over the house, including anything that Maci is eating or playing with! I looked it up out of curisoty the other day....this is what they said:

This process is called caching or hoarding, and it is common among dogs, wolves and foxes. In fact, other animals practice a form of caching; squirrels gather enough nuts to last through the winter .... Our domesticated dogs may have their food handed to them each day in sufficient quantities, but they still carry this caching trait and bury their bones or toys in the back yard – or even under your pillows – to guard against a possible shortage of food.

So, why do dogs bury bones in the ground? Because it's in their nature.
