Animal romance can be such a great tourist attraction. Remember the Australian black swan who'd fallen in love with a swan-shaped paddleboat in Münster, Germany? Vigilant world-watchers as we are here at Jaunted, we have an important update for you.

Winter's coming fast to Germany, and you know what birds should do: fly south for the winter. But this swan--known as Black Peter--won't leave without his mate, and plastic paddleboats can't, unfortunately, fly. This has left the park owners with a problem, since the paddleboat should also be taken inside before the lake freezes. Luckily, the kind-hearted people at Münster's Allwetter Zoo have agreed to allow Peter and his paddleboat mate to winter on the elephant enclosure pond, which is sheltered enough that they can survive the winter. Love really does overcome all obstacles.
