Anser anser is a domestic fowl belonging to the order Anatidae. There are two types: the European Anser anser and the Chinese Anser cygnoides . The former is a domesticated greylag goose from Egypt around 2800 BCE, and the main varieties are the Embden (native to Germany, white, weighing 8.0-9.0 kg) (illustration) and the Toulouse (native to France, gray-brown, weighing 9.0-12.0 kg) (illustration). The latter is a domesticated swan goose from China around 2000 BCE, and is called the Chinese goose. It has a hump at the base of its beak and weighs 4.5-5.5 kg, making it slightly smaller than the European varieties. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
