Swans mate for life:Swans are known for their lifelong partnerships, with males and females typically staying together until one of them dies. During breeding season, the pair will engage in elaborate courtship displays, which may involve synchronized swimming, head-bobbing, and wing-flapping. Once the eggs are laid, both parents will take turns incubating them and caring for the young. |

Baby swans are called cygnets and are incredibly adorable:Cygnets are covered in soft, fluffy down feathers and are known for their cute and awkward movements. They follow their parents closely, peeping and cheeping for food and attention. As they grow, they will molt their down feathers and develop their beautiful adult plumage. But even as adults, swans still retain a certain cuteness, with their elegant necks, graceful movements, and gentle nature. |
