Description

When: April 9, 2022

Where: Kölner Zoo Köln/ Cologne, Germany

This little one was hidden almost perfectly - if it hadden moved and made a sound I don't think we'd spotted it at all!

Species: Black Swan (Zwarte zwaan)

Latin name: Cygnus Atratus

Originates from Australia.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

...Like many species of Birds, Black Swans are monogamous breeders, but are unusual in that one-quarter of all pairings are male-to-male homosexual.

…The Black Swan utters a musical, far reaching, bugle-like sound, called either on the water or in flight, as well a range of softer crooning notes. It’s also known to whistle, especially when disturbed while breeding or nesting.
