In the Casela Bird Park there is
lake where you can sit nearby and watch black swans swim around.
The binomial name of the black swan is Cygnus atratus. When
talking about swan people think always white, but as you see
there are also black swans. The black swan breeding area is
mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. A
male swan is called con and a female is known as pen and a young
swan is known as cygnet. The feathers of black swans are mostly
black with some white feathers here and there. The population of
black swans in the world is estimated at around 500.000, no
extinction has been recorded. |
