Description
The Mute Swan Cygnus olor is a species of swan, family Anatidae. It is native to much of Europe and Asia, the far north of Africa. It is also an introduced species in North America, Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from its being less vocal than other swan species, though it is not always silent
