Swans
The largest waterfowl in the world are swans. Their extremely long
snaky necks allow them to reach deep down and feed on the roots and
stems of underwater plants or to be hoisted high like periscopes to spy
over the country. The male swan is called a "cob" and the female a
"pen" The old Latin word for swan is "cygnus", so the young are
"cygnets".
