THE CORRECT ANSWER: The elephant

Although this majestic bird is often perceived as silent, especially the mute swan, it actually has a vocal repertoire of its own. The swan is said to trumpet, whistle or, more archaically, to shake. This call, often described as a somewhat hoarse trumpet sound, is particularly audible in the whooper swan or the whistling swan.Contrary to popular belief, these birds use their vocalizations to maintain group cohesion during migratory flights or to signal an intrusion into their aquatic territory during the nesting period. The anatomy of their long neck, housing a sometimes complex trachea, allows this particular resonance.The legend of the "swan song" before dying, however, remains a poetic myth with no real biological basis, because the animal communicates throughout its life in a functional and structured way.
