Coscoroba Swan

The Coscoroba Swan, Coscoroba coscoroba, is the smallest species of swan. However, it is still a fairly large species of waterfowl, averaging 4.2 kg (9.3 lbs), 1 m (3.3 ft) long and 1.57 m (5.2 ft) across the wings. Like all other swans it belongs to the family Anatidae. Since it is only distantly related to the other swans, the Coscoroba Swan is placed in the monotypic genus Coscoroba.
The Coscoroba Swan has white plumage except for black tips to the outer six primary feathers, although this black is often barely visible on the closed wing. In flight, the black wing tips are conspicuous.
The Coscoroba Swan breeds in South America from southern Chile and central Argentina south to Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands. In winter it flies north to central Chile, northern Argentina, Uruguay and the south east tip of Brazil.
