Swans are known for their beauty. Do you know that ballet dancers often are linked to a gracefully moving swan? Mute swans are very large water fowls. They are called ‘mute’ not because they are totally dumb. They do make noise; but they are far more silent than other swan species.
The mute swans have heavy bodies, short legs and a long, slender neck. They are found in much of Eurasia and the far north of Africa. The bird was introduced by Man to North America, Australasia and southern Africa.
Measuring between 125 and 170 centimetres in length, the mute swan is about the same size of a Trumpeter Swan and more than double the size of a Snow Goose.
This beautiful bird has white plumage with an orange beak bordered with black.
