The swan gave the man a tender hug
Swans barely qualify as social animals. They keep to their territory, are fiercely devoted to their spouse, and actively avoid interacting with people.
However, in this tale, a swan shocks everyone by giving a guy a bear hug in appreciation for saving him!
TV host Richard Wise came upon a swan that was unable to escape on his own one day while walking through the Abbotsbury Nature Reserve. The bird gave the man a nice hug with his long, flexible neck after saving him and held to him tightly.
When a cute animal unexpectedly trusted you so much, it is an indescribable sensation, said a moved Richard.
To make the swan feel safe, “I embraced the swan to me so closely.”
