Chinese Goose (Anser Cygnoides Domesticus) swimming. Domestic goose bred from the wild swan goose.

---

Chinese geese are a breed descended from the swan goose (anser cygnoides) but are distinguishable by the basal knob on their beak, which both sexes have but is larger in the male. Both swan geese and Chinese geese differ from other geese in that they have more vertibrae in their neck than other breeds.
