Father swan cradles its babies after sudden death of the mother swan

A father swan was left as a single dad just one week after the mother swan gave birth to their six cygnets.

In the Charles River Esplanade in Boston, the swan family became local celebrities after the babies were hatched. But they quickly were struck by tragedy when the mom died on May 31 of no clear cause.

The father swan has since been caring for his babies on his own.
