The video has been receiving a lot of positive response owing to the helping nature of the man in action. People have been pointing out through the video that some humans act as superheroes without making a fuss about it.

Baby swan saved by a ‘man without cape’

An adorable video of a cygnet and an animal rescuer has lately been going viral on social media. In the video, a senior man is seen making a successful attempt at rescuing a baby swan who is stuck in the fence without having a way out. An internet user, by the name Buitengebieden, posted the video on Twitter, highlighting how the man rescued the helpless bird while the male swan, attacks the man not being aware of his intentions.

In the video, the rescuer is also seen speaking calmly with the furious male swan, in an attempt to calm him down while he gets the work done. He gets baby swan out and releases it in the water while the protective male swan, usually called a cob, continues to aggressively flap its wings on the rescue worker. Mama swan is spotted away from the rescue operation, in the water, taking care of other baby swans. The caption of the post highlights that not all heroes wear a cape and some people simply indulge in simple acts of kindness. The Twitter handle has also mistaken the furious swan as the mother, which was later corrected by one of the people in the comments section.

The original YouTube video was also shared in the comments section by one of the Twitteratis. In the original video, the name of the rescue worker has been mentioned as Simon Cowell, who is a part of the Wildlife Aid Foundation. In the video, Simon mentions that parent swans can get quite vicious in order to protect their cygnet. Have a look at the original video here.
