What's the difference between a goose and a duck?

Do you know the difference between duck and goose? Although geese and ducks are both antheriformes and very common poultry, there are great differences between them. The following is a brief introduction to the differences between geese and ducks.

goose

Goose is thought to be the first domesticated domestic fowl, derived from wild geese or grey geese. Central country geese come from geese, European domestic geese come from grey geese. Domestic geese are roughly divided into two systems: Chinese geese and European geese. European geese originate from grey geese, while Chinese geese are domesticated by swan geese. The Chinese goose originated in the northeast, recorded in Er Ya, and was raised four thousand years ago. It is a very ancient goose species.

duck

Duck is a general term for Antheriformes, Ancylidae, Ancylidae, or true duck. Ducks are relatively small, with short necks, and some genera have larger beaks and legs at the back of the body, resulting in a wobbly gait. Most true ducks (including several species incorrectly called geese because of their size and shape) differ from swans and geese in that males molt twice a year, females lay more eggs per litter, and egg shells are smooth; legs are covered with matching scales; and calls and sounds show some degree of sex difference.

What are the differences between geese and ducks?

1. Appearance: Goose has orange-yellow or black-brown fleshy protrusions on its forehead, long neck, flat and wide mouth, high legs and short tail, webbed toes, white or gray feathers. Duck, mouth flat legs short, toe webbed, good at swimming, can not fly high.

2, body size: geese are usually larger than ducks.

3. Calling: The calls of geese and ducks are generally similar, but the stern rebuke of geese is different from the caution of ducks.

4, courage: ducks are more afraid of people, when people approach, they must give way and escape, but geese stand proudly.

5. Pace: The goose steps calmly and arrogantly. The duck moves at a rapid pace and has an uneasy appearance.
