Artist / Photographer: katrin The swans are the largest members of the duck family Anatidae, and are among the largest flying birds. The largest species, including the mute Swan, trumpeter Swan, and whooper Swan, can reach length of over 1.5 m (60 inches) and weigh over 15 kg (33 pounds). Their wingspans can be almost 3 m (10 ft). Compared to the closely related geese they are much larger in size and have proportionally larger feet and necks. They also have a patch of unfeathered skin between the eyes and bill in adults. The sexes are alike in plumage, but males are generally bigger and heavier than females.
