Who Is TooTurntTony? 'Duck Daddy' Goes Viral For Wildlife Advocacy

Anthony Dawson, better known as TooTurntTony or "Duck Daddy", rose to fame on social media thanks to his wildlife conservation advocacy. The 29-year-old is known for creating viral comedy skits, social experiments, and other videos, often involving his family and, of course, his ducks.

TooTurntTony began his career as a duck rancher, where he made videos with ducks to increase awareness of wetland conservation.

Now, he is TikTok's latest sensation, with over 20.3 million followers.

The 29-year-old TikToker often posts about his duck, Baby Girl, and their adventures together. The two have had run ins with gators, snapping turtles, sharks, and other wildlife animals, all of which have been documented and shared with his millions of fans.

In addition to wildlife advocacy, TooTurntTony has also collaborated with Boston-based NOCA Beverages and released an alcoholic iced tea known as "Too Turnt Tea."

Last year, the 29-year-old shared a video of one of his night voyages when he saw something rustling around in the tall grass. He jumped off the boat and swam over to find a snapping turtle with a fishing hook lodged in his throat.

He was able to carry the poor little guy back to the boat, but since removing a fishing hook was not in his expertise, he decided the best course of action was to take him home to perform surgery on him later.

The video received 2.3 million views and nearly 200,000 comments.

A few days ago, Tony was driving when he spotted a dog wandering near a drainage ditch. Being the animal lover that he is, he pulled over and brought the pup into his car.

The 29-year-old then drove through the nearby neighborhoods to try to find the owner, but he had no luck. So, he brought the little guy home and spent the whole day together. They went swimming, played fetch with some coconuts, and then met Baby Girl (which could have gone better).

Eventually, Tony was able to locate the owner, and the two reunited!

After seeing the video of the lost pup, fans were so happy to see the story have a happy ending, with the clip gaining over 235,000 likes and nearly 2,000 comments.

"Paco's journey was heartwarming, glad he found his way back home!" one of his followers wrote. "I love how animals can feel your kind energy," another said.

"You’re so awesome. I love how you genuinely love animals," a third expressed.

One of Tony's best-known videos is when he decided to prank his family and pretend that Jeffrey Dahmer had inspired him.

The 29-year-old TikToker watched Netflix's "DAHMER. Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" with his mom, who he says was extremely freaked out after seeing Evan Peters portray the infamous serial killer. So, naturally, he decided to have some fun and pretended to mimic Dahmer's actions.

Over the course of three days, Tony decided to bring Dahmer into his home, hiding roadkill under her bedroom and sleeping next to a mannequin. He took it a step further by dressing like the infamous killer, from the iconic glasses down to the white shirt tucked into a pair of tight blue jeans.

He also announced the proceeds from the mini-series would be donated to the Missing and Exploited Children Fund.

While the videos received millions of views, fans were divided about how funny this prank was. Some said Tony took it too far, while others could not stop watching. "I don’t find it funny," one of his followers said.

Another, on the other hand, expressed, "Bro pulls off Jeffrey Dahmer better than Jeffrey Dahmer."

Regardless of the controversy, Tony continues to have a massive following as he advocates for wildlife conservation.
