What the Two Swans Scene Shows

Two swans are swimming toward one another across rippling water. Their bodies float at the surface, and their elegant necks bend as the birds face each other. Clouds in the sky form the background for this calm meeting on the water.

Interesting Facts About Swimming Swans

A swan moves across the surface by paddling with its large webbed feet beneath the water. Its long neck allows it to reach underwater plants while its body remains afloat. Swans also preen frequently, spreading natural oil through their feathers to help keep them in good condition around water.

Natural Colors of Swans, Water, and Clouds

  • Adult swan feathers: usually white in familiar mute and whooper swans, though some swan species have black plumage
  • Swan beaks: orange with black markings in mute swans, or yellow and black in some other species
  • Swan eyes: dark brown or black
  • Water: blue, green, brown, or gray depending on depth, light, and the surroundings
  • Clouds: white in bright light and shades of gray when they are thick or shaded
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why do swans curve their necks?
Their flexible necks help them feed, groom their feathers, and communicate through posture. A curved neck can appear during relaxed swimming as well as during social displays.
Do swans stay with the same partner?
Many swans form long-lasting pair bonds, although this is not an absolute rule for every bird. A bonded pair may defend a territory and raise young together.
How can such large birds float?
A swan's body is naturally buoyant, and air trapped among its feathers adds support. Its webbed feet provide the push needed to glide and turn on the water.
