Petra (swan)
 |
Petra is a female black swan which first appeared on the headlines of German medias, then international ones, between 2006 and 2008, after it appeared that she fell in love with a pedalo looking like a swan on the Aasee, a lake located in Münster, in Germany.[1]
Petra disappeared at the beginning of January 2009. Citizens and medias took action to try to find her.
The story of Petra inspired the writing of a book for children, Ebonys Traum, published in 2011.[2]
Petra was seen again during Spring 2013, in Osnabrück, with a new partner, this time an animal.[3]
