Mute Swans are beautiful and monogamous birds that are usually known as lovely and gentle but they can be tremendously aggressive in defence of their nest.
Its size and impressive hissing make it a formidable adversary for animals as large as a fox.

Mute Swans even attack people who enter their territory during the breeding season as I could experience myself a couple of years ago.
