Swans are the largest living water fowl. They are often easy to spot among other water-loving birds as swans are typically quite bigger than these other birds. Swans also generally appear all white in color when compared to the mottled markings in many other waterfowl species (though swans do come in black and black and white!). There are six living species of swans and they are found throughout most of the world.
Scientific Name: Genus - Cygnus
Range: All continent except Antarctica (though not considered native to Africa)
Size: Up to 30lbs (14kg) and 6.5ft (2m) wingspans
Diet: aquatic vegetation; young may eat more arthropods
Lifespan: up to 30 years in the wild

“Swans tend to be monogamous throughout their lifetimes. However, this isn’t always the case.” Sounds very similar to humans.

Fun fact, here in Chile we have a species of swan, if the female dies the male sometimes commits suicide by flying in the air and then crashing down Yep, thats kinda sad

@nooneiszzm 2 года назад

@@jlagaviota and the video voice still claimed they stay together for their ability to produce offpsring together... humans are such cynics, god damn

My city has a resident population of trumpeter swans. They’re gorgeous but territorial as hell, they sometimes chase people, and they sometimes pick on smaller birds like ducks.

@AnimalFactFiles 4 года назад

If I were a swan, I'd probably chase people, to be fair.

@theresaakins2317 Год назад

Wow, you're lucky to have those beautiful birds! Although they sound like pests. What city are you in?

@beautyforashes2022 Год назад

They look so cute when they're "dabbling" and I can't help but giggle when I see them doing that.

@AnimalFactFiles Год назад

Me too! I love seeing it in nature!

There is a common myth that swans are strong enough to break human arms. This isn't true because their hollow bones are quite a bit weaker than ours, but they are extremely powerful for their weight. They are some proper dinosaurs for sure

@AnimalFactFiles 4 года назад

Knowing my luck a swan would push me over and I'd break my arm from falling.

Swans are just beautiful,so gracious and proud looking ,I’ve got a real soft spot for them ,don’t see them on our lake anymore sadly

@AnimalFactFiles 3 года назад

They are absolutely stunning. That's really too bad they don't visit your lake! What a shame =(

My neighbor had a mute swan staying in his yard for a few months. That swan was very friendly and you were able to get close to pet him.

@lillianavner2761 2 года назад

Very interesting! I love learning new things. Thank you for sharing. Love you.

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️

@eunaekim9216 3 года назад

Someone once tried to put swans in a fountain for a party - but it backfired when they found that whatever it was that was coloring the water blue was fatal to the swans!

@theresaakins2317 Год назад

That's horrible and people are just ignorant!

And there was probably chlorine and stuff too...

@janettempest716 4 года назад

It just shows you don't understand these animals are territorial and more important because they keep our rivers and lakes clean and stop the over population of other spices that cause damage to the environment including stupid people 🙏🌈🦋🕊🐝🗣
