Black Swanコクチョウ
Cygnus atratusLC— Least Concern
The black swan is a striking all-black waterbird native to Australia, easily recognized by its red bill and curled wing feathers. Its 1697 discovery overturned the long-held European assumption that all swans were white, later giving rise to the term "black swan event."
