Mute swans are easily separated from other swans by its orange bill and black knob above bill. They live in well-sheltered bays, open marshes, lakes, and ponds.They like to eat the leaves, stems and tubers of aquatic plants that grow at shallow depths in fresh, brackish, or salt water. They reach this food by extending the head and neck downward, frequently tipping the body but seldom completely submerging. Top flight speed is 50 to 55 mph. |
