In the childhood story "The Ugly Duckling", the beautiful, cute and gentle little goose is the favorite animal in the childhood of most friends.
But you know what? The geese raised in the homes of many farmers in the countryside are very different from the swans in fairy tales, and these seemingly docile and elegant domestic geese are out-and-out "bandits", who are not only aggressive, but also extremely grumpy. In the countryside, you may rarely see a dog bite, but seeing someone being chased and beaten by a goose is an extremely common thing! The little friends who live in the village must have deeply experienced this. Because of this, many people say that "I would rather be bitten by a dog than let the goose screw"
So how strong is the fighting power of the goose? So much so that people say things like that? I hope friends can long press likes, highly recommended, let's explore this topic together.
Speaking of house geese, many people think that house geese are domesticated by swans, not only because of their close name, but also because of their very similar appearance. But in fact, the house goose and the swan do not have much to do with each other, not even close relatives. Domestic geese have been domesticated by humans as a domestic animal for nearly five thousand years. The domestication process of domestic geese must start from the ancient custom of people giving gifts.
In ancient times, when men gave dowry gifts to women, they would choose to send a goose, but as a highly migratory animal, geese are not only difficult to catch and difficult to find in many cases, so the price of geese is very expensive. This also led to the fact that ordinary people could not afford it, so in order to solve the dilemma of gift-giving, people began to capture and raise an animal called Hongyan.
As a member of the geese family, Hongyan not only looks almost the same as ordinary geese, but also is relatively easy to raise, and since then people have opened the history of domesticating Hongyan. After thousands of years of baptism, the captive-reared geese have become the appearance of the domestic geese raised by people today, so the domestic geese and the swans really have nothing to do with each other, but they are close relatives with the geese.
It is precisely because domestic geese have been domesticated by humans for only a few thousand years, so domestic geese still retain their wild nature. They are highly territorial and aggressive. Whenever someone breaks into their territory, the geese behave unusually alertly and furiously. At this point they will stretch out their long necks and yell at each other, and are ready to attack each other.
If the other party fails to evacuate in time, it will be met with a fierce attack of the domestic goose. At this time, they will stretch out their long necks, run while flapping their wings and flying close to the ground, straight to the target, once they find the right angle, they will relentlessly twist a mouthful, and this bite down, if there is no accident, will definitely twist out a blood mark.
Speaking of this, some small partners may wonder, the family goose obviously has no teeth, why did it cause such a serious injury?
In fact, this is mainly due to the special structure of their beaks. The upper and lower beak edges of the house goose are jagged, and these tiny spikes are very sharp, which is why the house goose can effortlessly tear off branches and grass. Therefore, when they bite each other and twist hard, they will scratch the skin of the other party, causing obvious redness and blood marks.
In addition, the house goose is also a kind of guy who is getting more and more aggressive. If you accidentally provoke it, it will keep pestering you and attacking you until it reaches a long distance.
This is completely different from dogs, after all, dogs have been domesticated by humans for tens of thousands of years, so dogs and humans usually show closer and more understanding of human intentions. Therefore, many times dogs do not take the initiative to attack humans, and it is easier to scare off under the reprimand of humans. But the house goose does not eat this set at all, and they will directly rush up to attack humans.
Therefore, in life, we often see scenes of domestic geese chasing and beating dogs. A reader once shared his own experience. They had two dogs at home, but once when walking their dogs outside, a big goose came out of nowhere, and chasing the two dogs was a wild twist, and soon the two dogs were beaten and screamed, and the young man was also angry, wanting to avenge his dog, and as a result, he was also bitten by the goose.
And this picture has also changed from the initial goose chasing two dogs to escape, to the big goose chasing two dogs and then adding a guy to escape, this scene can't help but make people laugh. However, it can also be seen from this that the attack power of the goose is indeed extraordinary!
