A swan's tale

"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.
Park keepers say that 'Black Peter' as the lovesick swan is known, refused to leave the boat on the Aasee Lake - which also should be taken off during the cold weather."

Adorable, yet...sad. No real female could compare to his imaginary love. Perhaps he imagines that she looks at him lovingly, and swims just for him.
