RE: Animal Photography: the graceful dance of swan

Thanks man :) Graceful birds indeed but in fact, they can be quite aggressive, even towards people. Saw that myself. But maybe only those who had some bad experience with humans, I don´t know... I personally believe that no animal can be naturally evil, unlike humans...

Sort:  

Wow, you are absolutely right that unlike animals only humans can be evil, we have to recognize that we are guests in their natural environment and not the other way around.
We have seen here in Romania attacks by bears on tourists who have ventured into our forests, and in these cases we humans are unwelcome guests in their natural environment, their actions are normal.
Cheers!

Yes, I know, these bear attacks sometimes happen even in Slovakia, the country of our eastern neighbors (and former Czechoslovakian brothers). The saddest thing in such cases is when the authorities decide to find and kill the bear that attacked someone. Just like you say, its their natural environment and we are the guests in there so we should respect them, not the other way around...

And here in Romania it used to be that after bear attacks they would be shot, but those who deal with the protection of animals and Natura 2000 intervened and these massacres stopped, now they anesthetize them and relocate them.
Cheers!

So glad to hear this! Thank you for letting me know :)
