Swan Goose

Anser cygnoides

The Swan Goose (Anser cygnoides) is a large waterfowl species native to East Asia. It is known for its distinctive black and white plumage, with a bright orange bill and knob at the base. These geese are often found in wetlands, marshes, and lakeshores, where they feed on aquatic plants, grasses, and grains. They are social birds, often seen in large flocks during migration. The Swan Goose is known for its loud, trumpet-like calls. While the population is currently stable, habitat loss and hunting pose potential threats to this species.
