Black Swans

We saw this Black Swan at Forest Lake.
It is Beautiful!
Did you know Black Swans were first discovered in Australia?
In 1697 The Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh 
discovered black swans in Australia.



The Black Swan Theory or theory of Black Swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight.   It comes from everyone thinking there were only white swans in the world and then the black swans were discovered.




Question ~ What year did a Dutchman discover black swans?
