The Black Swan at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
After coming through the turnstiles at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you have the opportunity to wander along criss-crossy paths in a shady portion of the park called The Oasis. A waterfall flows into a stream, which babbles along until it empties into a pond. There are ducks, turtles, lizards, wallabies and all manner of water fowl in residence at The Oasis.

The black swan always reminds me of figure skating. During the 2000-2001 figure skating season, the incomparable Michelle Kwan used music called Song of the Black Swan by composer Heitor Villa-Lobos
The black swan’s beak is completely bright red in color. You can only see a tiny sliver of it here because he is napping, but if you use Google Images, I’m sure you will find some good examples.
