Both male and female whooper swans have white feathers with black webbed feet and legs. They can easily be identified from other white swans by the color of the beak. Their beaks are orange-yellow at the base with a black tip. The markings on their beaks are unique and can be used to tell them apart. They can have a wingspan up to 7 ½ feet.
