A grieving black swan is happy again after finding a new mate through a lonely hearts advert.
The female swan was left alone on a lake in Bavaria after her partner was killed by a fox.
But Bavarian officials published a lonely hearts ad and a swan breeder provided a match. The two swans are now said to be living harmoniously.
