Beautiful Swans
Have you ever seen a gigantic white duck floating on the water?
Swans are beautiful white birds that are commonly found on lakes and rivers. They are extremely large and live mostly in the earth’s northern hemisphere. They can weigh over 25 pounds!
Swans are waterfowls that are found in various parts of the world. The Black Swan is the most common type of swan species in Australia, while the Mute Swan and Tundra Swan is the most common species in North America.
There are seven different types of swans found all over the world today – tundra swan, bewick’s swan, whooper swan, black swan, black-necked swan, trumpeter swan, and mute swan.
Swans can sleep on either land or water and can survive in both fresh and saltwater environments.
Most of the swans you’ll see are white but there are black swans that live in Australia and New Zealand.
