Baby Swans: Not The “Ugly Ducklings” You Might Expect

Do you remember the story of the ugly duckling? If not, let me remind you – a bunch of adorable fluffy yellow ducks totally exclude and make fun of this one particularly funny looking white duckling. It’s a story of how you should be true to yourself, and even if you’re a little awkward at first, even a funny little outcast duckling can grow up to be a beautiful swan.

Now, not to disparage a story with a good message, but look at these adorable little baby swans. Are you kidding me? Who would make fun of them? If anything, it’s a sad story because that little swan didn’t have his own mother, and swan moms are the best! check out the gallery below, in their infancy, cute baby swans ride on their mother’s back, or in a protective pocket that she makes with her wing.
