Swan in Love
She’s big, she’s blond, she’s heavy-duty plastic. What’s not to love?
A swan who fell in love with a swan-shaped paddle boat has been moved to a zoo with his plastic lover.
Biologists in Muenster, north-western Germany, say the rare Black Australian Swan has been showing all the typical signs of love for its species, circling its plastic lover, staring endlessly at it and making crooning noises.
The swan now refuses to fly south for winter without his mate.
I wonder if "Black Peter" as the swan is called watches Sesame Street on PBS? This was just too cool to ignore.
