Acerca de
El ganso cisne es un gran ganso asiático con el cuello largo y esbelto y un llamativo pico largo y negro con un prominente nódulo en la base. Es el antecesor del ganso doméstico chino. Cría en la estepa y el semidesierto de Asia central y Mongolia y migra al este de China para pasar el invierno. Su población ha disminuido por la degradación del hábitat y la caza.
