A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Coscoroba coscoroba
The bird has a red beak, legs and feet. They look somewhat more like geese than swans (small swan in body, goose in the head). The female looks almost identical to the male. The cygnet is a patchy color, with brown and gray hues. The Coscoroba Swan is also lacking the black mask that other swans have where their lores are between the eyes and beak.
Photographed at Lagos Zoo.
