This video documents a natural scene of a black swan fighting a rat trying to steal its eggs to protect its nest.

On November 11, 2025, in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, a rat coveted swan eggs and repeatedly tried to approach the nest, attempting to avoid the swan's sight and find loopholes in the nest.

However, the swan was extremely vigilant, guarding the nest at all times. When it noticed the rat approaching, it immediately stretched its neck to drive it away, using pecking to deter it, repeatedly blocking the rat's attempt to steal the eggs, and ultimately successfully defended the nest.
