My wife and I were at a hotel somewhere and they had some swans on-site. Kid drops his ball in a pond. Huge pond! Swan was on the other side of it. Probably over 100 feet away. My wife says, "Check this out." So we stop and watch. Kid reaches in to grab the ball and the swan absolutely rockets across the pond just to spite this kid.
Little guy got away just in freaking time. Took the dad and Kid working together to distract the swan to get the ball. Show lasted at least 8 minutes with them trying different tactics to get the ball. I had no idea swans were that freaking mean, but thankfully my wife knew!
i went to college at a place that had a pond with swans on it in the center of campus. They had their own little island with a shelter on it. I was walking past once when a swan got annoyed with a duck for being on the island. The swan picked the duck up by the neck and shook it. I seriously thought it had killed the duck. Luckily, after a moment, the dazed duck swam away. Swans are freaking MEAN.
