Swimmer Gerrit Jan Recounts Intense Physical Altercation With a Swan
A news report features a swimmer named Gerrit Jan, who is pictured with visible head injuries and blood-stained tissues following a physical encounter with a swan. The swimmer, dressed in a wetsuit, suggests that the intensity of the struggle was such that a child would not have survived a similar attack. The incident highlights the potential aggression of wild waterfowl, as the swimmer emphasizes the severity of the swan's behavior during their prolonged struggle near the water's edge.


I'm assuming that this was a chance encounter. Or is he some creepy guy who goes out picking fights with waterfowl for a hobby?
am i missing something? cuz we had wild swans near me that like attacking people i literally took a nap while the swan tried to attack my hand and feet how the fuck are they dangerous enough to show that much blood
That's the same guy, right?
A swan weights 8kg. What kind of pussy are you? grab it by the neck and kill if it attacks you. It is after all a wild animal. Humans are so weirdly weak.
Swimmers are the cyclists of the lakes and rivers. Change my mind.
Are swans build different over there? I do remember sometimes feeding them, and although sometimes aggressive, they couldn't open my skin
Okay I won't go as far as saying that I could fight off wolves or bears but a fucking swan come on... I'm guessing this guy tried to take the high road and simply not attack the swan to see if it would leave but he clearly doesn't know how swans work. They are some really Petty b
Swans are fucking evil. I saw a Canada Goose with a trail of goslings get too close to a swan. The big white fucker reached over and chomped a gosling to death, apparently randomly.
So he spared the life of a swan but would have killed a child…. got it
I'd kill it in 3 seconds
