After the mother swan dies, the father swan takes the youngsters under his wing

This is the touching moment a male swan was seen caring for his young after their mother passed away.

They were inseparable, until last July when Ashes suddenly vanished! Credit: lollypopfarm It happened at a truck stop in Springfield, Ohio.
