Very nice shot! Thanks for answering questions from classroom students on Project Noah Arne.
The swan is called that in english because it is less vocal than other swan species. In Norway the name is "knoppsvane" after the knob on their bill.
Why is it called the mute swan
It is so cute
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
