Description

Mute Swans 2 by Roy Pedersen.Digital painting from a photograph of a pair of Mute Swans swimming on the River Severn in Worcester,UK.The Mute Swan is a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. They are Mute Swans. They are not actually mute but tend to be less vocal than other Swans due to the anatomy of their trachea. There are seven species of Swans; Black Swan (Cygnus atratus), Black-Necked Swan (Cygnus melancoryphus), Coscoroba Swan (Coscoroba coscoroba), Mute Swan (Cygnus olor), Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator),
Tundra Swan (Cygnus columbianus) and the Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus).The Mute Swan is native to much of Europe and Asia, and the far north of Africa. The original image has been edited to have a painted look.
