Don't let your children wrestle Gerrit Jan!

Swans have killed grown adults. They're very territorial and can capsize small boats.

@violetmadder @RustyBertrand I've been in a fight with swans. They knocked a friend to the ground and I had to wade in. Vicious fuckers.

@tinydoctor @violetmadder I remember people in India used flocks of geese as guard dogs. They come at you heads down, screeching like banshees.

@RustyBertrand @tinydoctor

Also territorial as fuck, and fear NOTHING.

Roosters, similarly brutal. If big enough would definitely eat us. Nowhere near as smart as a goose though. The goose has MALICE.

@violetmadder @tinydoctor
And teeth on their tounges.

*The angled spikes are actually cartilage, called tomia.

@RustyBertrand @tinydoctor

Exactly.

THAT is what happened to this swimmer dude's scalp, and why he's drenched in his own blood.
