If I had to choose what wildlife is the most ferocious to kayakers I would have to say, hands down, it is a mother swan. Many swans breed in the inlets around Cape Cod and if you paddle too close to a nest or even look at one the wrong way you are in for a nasty attack. I have been able to "divert" them with a paddle but the safest thing is to paddle with someone who is slower than you.
