WHAT DOES MUTE SWAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

mute swan

Mute swan

The mute swan is a species of swan, and thus a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Europe and Asia, and the far north of Africa. It is also an introduced species in North America, Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species. Measuring 125 to 170 cm in length, this large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange bill bordered with black. It is recognisable by its pronounced knob atop the bill.
