Wild Swan: Elegance in Flight
Wild swans, such as the whooper swan, are often associated with lakes and wetlands but can occasionally be spotted near savanna water sources during migration. These majestic birds are known for their striking white plumage, long necks, and graceful movements. Swans form lifelong pair bonds and are dedicated parents, fiercely protecting their nests from predators. Their diet consists of aquatic plants, small fish, and insects. Swans play a vital role in their ecosystems by controlling plant overgrowth and supporting biodiversity. Their hauntingly beautiful calls add an ethereal quality to the landscapes they inhabit, making them a cherished symbol of wilderness.
