A HOSTILE swan is terrorising
model boat enthusiasts who
are testing out their pride
and joy on Needham Lake, in
Ipswich, UK.
The swan has gone into
protective mode as he and his
partner have four cygnets on
the lake and is smashing and
sinking model boats.
“It took about six months
to build and he just smashed
it to pieces,” Gipping Valley
Model Boat Club treasurer Cliff
Galsworthy told IOL.
“He smashes at them with his
wings and tries to get on top
and sink them.”
MEANWHILE, Tasmania has
made international news after
a 120kg fur seal was found
napping in a toilet cubicle.
What was more startling was
the animal appeared to be
sleeping off quite the journey –
as he was half a km from water.
“There’s a small creek about
half a kilometre away but
he would still have had to
cross a busy road and several
paddocks to make it to the
cemetery,” Karina Moore from
Devonport Council told AFP.
