Adults of this large swan typically range from 140 to 160 cm (55 to 63 in) long, although can range in extreme cases from 125 to 170 cm (49 to 67 in), with a 200 to 240 cm (79 to 94 in) wingspan.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Madge_4-2" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-Madge-4" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[4]</a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-12" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[12]</a></sup> Males are larger than females and have a larger knob on their bill. On average, this is the second largest waterfowl species after the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpeter_swan" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Trumpeter swan">trumpeter swan</a>, although male mute swans can easily match or even exceed a male trumpeter in mass.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Madge_4-3" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-Madge-4" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[4]</a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-13" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[13]</a></sup>Among standard measurements of the mute swan, the wing chord measures 53–62.3 cm (20.9–24.5 in), the tarsus is 10–11.8 cm (3.9–4.6 in) and the bill is 6.9–9 cm (2.7–3.5 in).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Madge_4-4" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-Madge-4" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[4]</a></sup></div>

The mute swan is one of the heaviest flying birds. In several studies from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Great Britain">Great Britain</a>, males (known as <i>cobs</i>) were found to average from about 10.6 to 11.87 kg (23.4 to 26.2 lb), with a weight range of 9.2–14.3 kg (20–32 lb) while the slightly smaller females (known as <i>pens</i>) averaged about 8.5 to 9.67 kg (18.7 to 21.3 lb), with a weight range of 7.6–10.6 kg (17–23 lb).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Madge_4-5" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-Madge-4" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[4]</a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-CRC_14-0" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-CRC-14" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[14]</a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-15" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-15" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[15]</a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-16" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[16]</a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_swan#cite_note-17" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[17]</a></sup> While the top normal weight for a big cob is roughly 15 kg (33 lb), one unusually big Polish cob weighed almost 23 kg (51 lb) and this counts as the largest weight ever verified for a flying bird, although it has been questioned whether this heavyweight could still take flight.</div>
