Hannibal (swan)とは 意味・読み方・使い方

Hannibal was the name given to a male swan who attacked as many as 37 other swans, killing 15 of them. The swan had been living with his mate and their cygnet in Castle Pond near Pembroke Castle, located in Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales. In February 2010, Hannibal began attacking any other swans who ventured into Castle Pond from the nearby Mill Pond. Hannibal would beat other swans with his wings, beak, and feet. If they remained in the pond, he would hold his victims' heads underwater until they drowned. If they attempted to leave the pond, Hannibal would "smash their feet to smithereens with his beak." After each attack, Hannibal would bring his son to view the aftermath while holding his wings up in celebration.
