Sobre
O ganso-de-bico-curto é um ganso cinzento médio que cria na Islândia, Gronelândia e Svalbard. É facilmente identificado pelo seu bico curto e cor de rosa-cinzento com banda rosada, pernas cor-de-rosa e pescoço castanho escuro. Hiberna no Reino Unido e Países Baixos em grande número. Alimenta-se principalmente de pasto e culturas agrícolas. As populações aumentaram nas últimas décadas devido a proteção e disponibilidade de culturas agrícolas nos locais de hibernada.
