In Response To: Can a baby swan with one leg live? (Stephen)

Hello,
I recently encountered the sight of 5 baby swans in my pond and noticed that one of the babies had a problem with its right leg. Soon after I watched the swans the one baby swan alone to the bank to rest, where I walked to it and got a closer look at the leg. It seemed that the leg was still in place but not functioning. However, when I tried to get a little closer it swam away only using the one leg the was working. Can a baby swan with one functioning leg survive??

Stephen.
