Mute swan

The Mute swan (Cygnus olor), a species of swan and a waterfowl, belongs to the Anatidae family. It is native to a large portion of Europe and (rarely) the far north of Africa. With lesser imports in Australasia and southern Africa, it is an imported species with the highest populations outside of its native area in North America. Because it is less vociferous than other swan species, it gets the nickname "mute".

Mute swans become a symbol of beauty and grace as they mature and evolve. Most people associate watching a swan with feelings of elegance and beauty. They strike people with their beauty, and it is obvious that they belong among the most beautiful creatures on the planet.
