Swan Mom Adorably Carries All 8 Of Her Babies Under Her Wing While Swimming
Richard Meston was at Bicton Park Botanical Gardens near Sidmouth, Devon in England, when he came across a mother swan and her babies.
She kept looking back at them to make sure they were all still there. Then she swam across the pond with them."Mute swans are very protective of their young and will vigorously defend them from any threats," said Julia Newth, of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. "But this one is definitely showing the gentler side of her insticints in giving her young a lift on her back."
