Contrary to popular belief, a large proportion of monogamous species such as swans have to settle for unattractive males rather than their ideal choice of partner. Although staying together avoids the risk of failing to find a second mate, such relationships raise female stress levels. Swank therefore hedges all bets with a come-on fan tail worthy of a polygamous peacock. And don’t turn your beak up at those size 11 feet – swans can outrun humans.
