Swan Goose: The Graceful Migrator
The swan goose, known for its elegant long neck and striking plumage, is a fascinating species found in zoos. Native to East Asia, these birds are migratory in the wild, traveling vast distances between breeding and wintering grounds. In captivity, their habitats often include ponds, grassy areas, and small islands, replicating the wetlands they call home.
These geese are social and vocal, often seen interacting in flocks. Zoos ensure their well-being by providing a varied diet, including grains, aquatic vegetation, and grasses. Educational exhibits about the swan goose highlight the importance of protecting wetland habitats, which are rapidly declining worldwide. Their beauty and calm demeanor make them a favorite for bird enthusiasts.
