What is a swan goose?
The Swan Goose is a migration species of birds found primarily in the areas of Russia, Mongolia and China. They are 31 to 37 inches (81 to 95 cm) long, with a thin neck like a swan. These geese have a black account and their neck is generally dark overshadowed on the back and sides, while the front is solid white. Their wings and backs are also generally brown shaded with a slightly spotted pattern. House swan has suffered from a decrease in the population and is considered to be endangered in several areas.
In terms of habitat, swan goose is relatively comfortable in a diverse set of places. They usually prefer to live near the water, but rarely spend a lot of time swimming. During the period of reproduction, they usually occur near fresh water bodies, including lakes, rivers and streams. In winter, during their migratory period, they usually live in areas near the ocean.
These birds are mostly plant eaters and graze on various grass and myed grow around inland water sources. It is known that farmers use swan goose,To help control weeds in their countries, and their levels of comfort with life on dry soil served them well in these situations. If necessary, they embark on the water and graze on the life of sea plants.
These birds generally begin to breed at the end of April or early May. Swan Goose generally likes to build her nest in tall grass as a way to hide eggs from predators. Sometimes it even builds its nests on small islands in the middle of rivers, which makes it difficult. The normal clutch is around six eggs and are incubated for about 30 days. Young from several different clutches can often gather and create larger groups after hatching.
As far as the population is concerned, swan goose was seriously endangered. These birds have special protection in areas in the entire extent of the habitat, including parts of China, Korea, Mongolia and Russia. The primary threat in most areas is a combination of excess lOvu and destruction of habitats. Even with these problems, the study showed that their populations are decreasing at a slower pace than most scientists predicted. Their number has decreased significantly, but some experts think it will be easier to solve the problem than originally expected. Scientists are trying to collect more data about the population so that birds can be more effective and in some cases use radio transmitters to monitor their movements over time.
