Greylag Goose <> Graugänse

The Greylag Goose is a species of the genus Field Goose in the duck family. Greylag geese are among the most common waterfowl and, after the Canada goose, the second largest goose species in Europe. They are the wild ancestors of the domesticated domestic geese. Central Europe is considered the region where this goose was domesticated. The domesticated Asian mute geese go back to the related swan geese. The greylag goose was described by Carl von Linné in 1758 in his work Systema naturae.
