Description:
The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan, and thus a member of the duck, goose and swan family Anatidae
It is native to much of Europe and Asia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa
It is also an introduced species in North America, Australasia and southern Africa
The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species
Measuring 125 to 170 centimetres (49 to 67 in) in length, this large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange bill bordered with black
