The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan, and thus a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Europe and Asia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is also an introduced species in North America, Australasia and southern Africa.
Mute swans also have a black knob on the top of their bill, which is absent in the native swan species. Mute swans typically have an S-shaped curve to their neck, while trumpeter swans have a C-shaped curve. Mute swans are also generally quieter than trumpeter swans, which have a loud trumpet-like call.
