Bavaria: Young swan rescued from the street in freezing temperatures

Stockstadt am Main (dpa / lby) - A helpless and exhausted young swan was rescued by the fire brigade in the Aschaffenburg district on Sunday. The animal was sitting on a street in Stockstadt am Main on the frosty morning of the fourth Advent and hardly moved, the fire brigade said. Because swans can only take off in water, the inexperienced animal could not fly either. Rescuers took the swan to an animal shelter, where it will be nursed until temperatures rise again.
