To say that Ducky cried when Cera was eaten wouldn't have been accurate. She hadn't been near her lover when she had been eaten by one of the many carnivorous dinosaurs that walked throughout the land. She had been at their nest watching over the three young children that they had adopted when their biological parents had been killed.

When Littlefoot had told her the tragic news she didn't cry at all, all she did was smile and continue to live her life as though nothing had happened. As though her hard-headed yet lovable mate hadn't been taken away from her and her three little children. She just smiled and laughed whenever her mate was mentioned, and when someone mentioned that her mate had been killed she would simply claim that her mate was simply 'going on an adventure'. She always claimed that someday Cera would return to her.

She refused to accept that her mate had been killed, even when one of her two daughters went on an adventure with her friends and came back with Cera's skull to show to her mother she refused to believe that she was dead.

Eventually all of her friends died due to the various hazards that tend to eliminate old dinosaurs. All of the members of her family had left the land of the living years before due to the previously mentioned hazards and Ducky was left in her nest contemplating her own mortality as her body became unable to support her own weight. She was unable to move and her body was slowly failing her, the only reason she was still alive was because her three children were taking care of her the best that they could. They brought her food, they built a shelter for her to be protected from the elements that threatened her, and they attempted to keep her warm by sleeping with her in the night.

Al of which proved futile as Ducky passed away peacefully in her sleep one night, mumbling to herself about how happy she was going to be when she saw her mate once again.
