posted a link to an article about a dog-eating catfish that died in the German city of Moenchengladbach. This kind of reminded me about a family of swans that used to live in a lake in Central Park. They became famous in 2000 for killing Donna Karan’s Jack Russell terrier that stupidly tried to swim to the couple’s nest. Now one of the swans was found dead and another one is missing. I think I might have a photo of the swans somewhere in my photo archive.
