Spotted
This unique hybrid combines traits from the strikingly patterned Emperor Goose and the widespread Greylag Goose. Its appearance is highly variable, often showing a mix of grey-brown plumage with some white head markings or subtle barring.
Where to spot
Primarily found in zoological collections, waterfowl parks, or large private estates worldwide. Rarely observed in the wild, though possible in areas where the parent species' ranges might overlap during migration or winter.
How to spot
Look for individuals exhibiting a mix of features from both parent species; for example, a largely grey-brown body with hints of the Emperor Goose's white head or barring, or a bill shape intermediate between the two. Their calls may also be a blend of the parents'.
When to spot
Year-round in captive environments. In the wild, observation is opportunistic and aligns with the migratory or wintering seasons of the parent species.
