Lifelong Fidelity and Devotion? Swan?

Saw an interesting news report on Channel U/8 (either one of them). Finally have sometime (after a “big” morning) to do a quick search on the net, and found the relevant reports.

“Swans have long been renowned as symbols of lifelong fidelity and devotion, but our recent work has shown that infidelity is rife among black swans,� says Dr Raoul Mulder from the University of Melbourne’s Department of Zoology.

According to the report, 1 out of 6 baby swan are found “illegitimate” by DNA paternity analysis. (meaning they are ç§?生å­? or their mother æ?žå¤–é?‡ la.)

If my memory didn’t fail me, the news report also said that female black swans normally sneak out between 11pm and 3am.

Interesting. Is that why they are BLACK swan? Just like Black sheep?

Alright. Just for your info. But for me, I’ll make sure I won’t buy any swan related decorations for Harry & Lap Wai, YiQi & James nor George & Sabrina.
