Besichtigungen
The whooper swan has a dense, downy plumage under the outer cover feathers as heat protection. That the feathers are not soaked with water, he uses a special gland on the body, the so-called rupture gland. It secretes an oily, water-repellent fluid. Swans need their long necks to look for food at the bottom of the water. Whooper swans breed from northern Scandinavia to Arctic Siberia and overwinter on northern European coasts.
