you don't want to fight a swan, they're like geese but upscaled. when i was taking photos of them once from a distance, i heard one make a noise like an actual dinosaur. do not fuck with swans, especially if the have their children around
I've seen a single swan absolutely beat the shit out of a handful of geese over an extended period of time. I've seen plenty of predators and prey, but this was pretty disturbing. Maybe because it wasn't a predator in that fight at all.
Every human in earshot was standing around like "do we... do something? It's nature, but... that's fucked up"
I'd say both the swan and the geese are predators. Some of the most dangerous things around (mainly to fish) unless you're in an area with crocs or gators. I guess they also share space with dangerous snakes and various African and Australian animals but I'm talking more about areas I've been.
I wouldn’t want to? They are the things known for their agression! And an animal loses all sympathy once it attacks me unprovoked!
