Swan Goose

Anser cygnoides

Swan Goose

Swan geese inhabit lakes, marshes, rivers, and surrounding grasslands across eastern Asia. They graze mainly on grasses, sedges, and aquatic vegetation, using their long necks to reach food in shallow water. A notably long, dark-headed neck gives this large goose its distinctive swan-like appearance.
