Swan Divorce Scandal
Swans at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Gloucestershire have divorced.
Of the 4,000 pairs of swans studied only two pairs have gone their separate ways in 20 years.
The swans usually mate for life and look for another mate only after a partner’s death.
Male swan, Sarindi, returned from the annual migration from Russia with a new lady-friend, causing concern amongst staff for female Saruni’s welfare. Shortly afterwards Saruni arrived with a new man and the pair are now living in the same pond at Slimbridge.
No interaction between the old couple has been witnessed since the separation.
