A swan (Cygnini) is a kind of water bird, from the genera Cygnus and Coscoroba. They are in the subfamily Anserinae, in the family Anatidae, which also includes geese and ducks. Many swans live in colder places, such as northern Europe, Asia and North America. They live on water.
Swans are large waterfowl that are famously elegant and have long, slender necks. While the majority of swan species are white, black swans have black plumage, and the black-necked swan has a white body and a black head and neck. All baby swans—known as cygnets—are grey when they’re born.
