Not a pig's friend

Sukhonos is a large goose, which is also called the Chinese goose. In appearance, it resembles a bean goose, but only from afar.

Up close, the species of the bird is easily determined by a clearly visible dark stripe located along the upper side of the head and the back of the neck.

Description of the sukhonos

The lower body of the bird is painted in light shades of yellow-brown, the forehead is decorated with a white stripe, the back and sides of the head, and the upper part of the neck are reddish-brown. The sides of the body are covered with blackish-gray plumage with light transverse stripes. The undertail and sides of the neck are white, and the crop and chest are brownish-gray.

The base of the beak is edged with a narrow white stripe, which is absent in young geese.

The weight of an adult suknos is 2.8-4.5 kg, body length reaches 90 cm, wingspan 1.5-1.6 m.

Males have a characteristic swelling on the beak. Young birds are light in color, covered with brownish-gray feathers, light stripes missing on the sides. Legs light yellow.

Birds form noisy flocks and talk loudly as they fly, emitting a long, loud “go-go-oo-o”, like the sound of a trumpet.

Habitat and nesting of sukhenos

The dry-nosed goose occupies a not very extensive habitat. These birds were once widespread throughout southeastern Siberia, but currently only small areas remain where they nest wild goose. Sukhonos is found in the Primorsky region, Sakhalin, Transbaikalia, Southern Baikal region, Southeast and Southern Altai, and lives in the Amur tributary basin.

The bird is migratory, spring arrival occurs in April, geese fly in small flocks, and in September they migrate to south-eastern China, Japan, Korea, and are also found in small numbers in Uzbekistan during the winter. Perhaps the appearance of the name Chinese goose is associated with the autumn migrations of rare birds to China.

The Sukhonos is easy to distinguish from other geese by its heavy flight. Water is the native element for the Chinese goose; it swims and dives well. During molting, when the bird loses its flight feathers and cannot rise to the wing, it becomes accessible prey to predators. But in moments of danger, the dry fish immerses its body in the water so that only one head remains on the surface, or it completely goes under the water and swims to a safe place.

The bird's habitat is confined to the shores of fresh and salty reservoirs, overgrown with bushes, located on the plains and in the mountains. The nest is located in reed thickets in a dry area among swamps, or less often located on the ground on a remote island.

Sukhonos builds a nest of stems coastal plants, their own feathers and blades of grass are used for bedding. The clutch contains from 3 to 12, usually 5-8, white eggs. Incubation lasts about 30 days. Only the female heats the eggs, while her partner swims nearby. The chicks emerge from the brood type, quickly dry out and leave the nest with their parents.

Several broods form small groups. When a predator appears, they hide in thick grass if they are on land. By diving into the water, they escape from enemies in the pond. Adult birds distract the enemy from their offspring by pretending to be wounded and dragging one wing to lead the enemy away from the brood or simply trying to drive them away. In early June, young birds begin to molt. Adult geese molt one month later. The change of plumage lasts 30 days. In autumn, birds form large flocks that move in a caravan during migration.

The sukhonos is a herbivorous bird; it feeds on sedges, cereal seeds, shoots, pine needles, and aquatic plants. Berries and insects add variety to the diet.

Dry-nosed goose and man

The dry-nosed goose is an extremely rare bird. As a result of habitat reduction, the number of this species is decreasing. This is the rarest goose in our country. Several reasons can be cited why the bird lost its nesting sites: construction of hydroelectric power stations, regulation of river flows, development of floodplain lands, deterioration of conditions during wintering, anxiety due to human presence.

Since the number of dry-nosed snakes is too small, it is hardly possible to talk about hunting these birds. However, in some areas, local residents destroy nests, take the chicks and feed them for meat. Eggs placed under poultry hatch into chicks that easily tolerate captivity and get used to humans.
