Well, you're running into the cross domain script error. So, one solution would be to change the data format into something that works cross domain, like JSONP. So your code becomes:

var TestModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
    urlRoot: "http://api.duckduckgo.com/?q=yellowstone+national+park&format=json&pretty=2"
});
var testModel = new TestModel({});
var test_data = testModel.fetch({
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    success : function (data) {
        console.log(data);
    }
});
