I've also been chased by vicious, hissing swans. I don't know if the rumour that they commonly break human arms is true though. All kids in this country get told that to keep them away from swans, and when they grow up they sit around the pub nodding sagely and agreeing that swans are arm breakers. I've nver heard of anyone actually getting their arm broken by one.

My favourite animal that could kick your ass is the cassowarie. You wouldn't really call them cute of course.
