MUNSTER, March 31 (UPI) -- It looks like it will be another long summer for a swan smitten with a pedal boat in northern Germany.
The lovestruck swan known as Black Petra by the locals around Aasee was apparently "imprinted" with the boat, which is shaped like a swan, and spent last summer swooning after it to the delight of visitors.
Scientists said poor Petra apparently bonded to the first moving object she saw upon hatching, which turned out to be the bobbing boat rather than her mother...
