"A man has drowned after being attacked by a swan, which knocked him out of his kayak and stopped him swimming to shore." "In April 2010, a swan on the River Cam in England made the news after repeatedly attacking rowers. It was nicknamed Mr Asbo, named after the Anti-Social Behaviour Orders issued by UK courts at the time. Two years later, there are still calls for it to be removed from the river, as the seasonal attacks go on." www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17736292  |

Never mind swans ... angry walrus on the loose in Finland: Walrus destroyed more than 10,000 euros worth of equipment, says Kotka fisherman When Antero Halonen found a walrus caught in his net, his first thought was to open a hole for it. In the process, the rare visitor overturned the fisherman's boat. According to Halonen, the walrus only became agitated when the Coast Guard arrived. He says that the walrus took hold of the boat by her tusks and tried to get on board. "The boat tilted and took on water, and that resulted in my first swimming trip this summer. yle.fi/news/3-12541655  The seaside town of Hamina received a very unusual visit from a walrus that crawled up on a beach until it returned to the water on its own on Friday. yle.fi/news/3-12538568 |
