O cisne-trombeteiro é o maior pato nativo da América do Norte. Os machos adultos pesam até 12 kg, tornando-os uma das aves mais pesadas da América do Norte. Tem plumagem branca com bico preto. A voz forte e trombeteante é inconfundível. Quase foi extinto no início do século XX devido à caça e perda de habitat, mas programas de reintrodução expandiram as populações para vários estados. Habita zonas húmidas e lagos nas Montanhas Rochosas, Grandes Planícies e noroeste da América do Norte.
