Down is nature’s way of keeping waterfowl warm. Ducks and geese could be able to withstand the cold up to hundreds of degrees below zero if there were such frosts on Earth at all.
Migratory geese are capable of flying up to 5,000 kilometers (3,000 miles) each season. They fly at an average speed of about 65 kilometers (40 miles) per hour in a V-shaped formation to minimize wind resistance.
Waterfowls are excellent divers. They are able to dive to a depth of 4-6 meters in search of food.
Small goslings are able to swim within 24 hours after birth. The best diver of all waterfowl is the long-tailed duck.
Geese and ducks are born and have offspring on Earth. In the wild, geese live in low marshes, river valleys, estuaries, and wet pastures. Domesticated geese raised on farms forage on grassy pasture and are given yards, sometimes with sheds.
