Are the Swans in Hangzhou's Tianhu Lake No Longer Able to Raise Swans? How 'Black Swans' Can Reproduce So Much

There are 4 black swans living in the residential area. As they raised the swans, they gave birth to 7 swans in two years, and the swan lake in the residential area became overcrowded. The community workers and property management issued sweet complaints: 'They are really too prolific, and they will soon be breeding again. We don't know what to do.'

Could it be that black swans are truly a prolific breeding machine? Are the children too many to bear for the community?

This is simply funny and heartwarming.

Some loyal and curious fans of Xiaohao News Client asked: 'Do black swans really breed so much? Do they breed every season?'

The reporter immediately contacted Mr. Jiang Zhi, Deputy Director of Hangzhou Zoo. Mr. Jiang said, 'Yes, black swans are indeed prolific.'

There are a total of 7 species of swans in the world, of which 3 white swans, the Trumpeter Swan, the Mute Swan, the Big Swan, and the Black-necked Swan, and the Black-bellied Swan, and the Red-billed Swan.

Black swans come from Australia and are an introduced species. There are 5 black swans in Hangzhou Zoo.

Although they are introduced animals, black swans are particularly well-adapted to the environment here. Unlike white swans that need to migrate, black swans don’t need to move around for their whole lives, and can live peacefully in Hangzhou, eating, drinking, and having fun and having babies.

Female black swans are ready to give birth at the age of 3, and can give birth to black swans. A healthy female black swan can give birth to 7-8 black swans. The lifespan of black swans is generally 10-15 years.

Compared to other swan species, black swans are the undisputed breeding champions. Both the number and the number of births are records.

'One can give birth to 2-3 nests, and each nest has 7-8 babies.' Mr. Jiang said, 'Individual differences, a nest has about 3 eggs.'
