Bar-headed Goose Soft Stuffed Plush Toy

❃ The bar-headed goose is one of the highest-flying birds in the world. Each year it migrates between the lakes of Central Asia and the wetlands of India, crossing directly over the Himalayas at altitudes where the air holds less than a third of the oxygen found at sea level — heights that would render most mammals unconscious within minutes.

❃ Named for the two dark stripes that curve across the back of its pale head, this slender goose has evolved a suite of remarkable adaptations: larger lungs, denser capillaries, and a special form of haemoglobin that binds oxygen more efficiently than that of any other bird. It has been recorded flying above 7,000 metres, with anecdotal sightings near the summit of Everest itself.

❃ Outside of its extraordinary commute, the bar-headed goose lives a comparatively peaceful life — grazing in flocks along high-altitude lakes in Mongolia, Tibet, and Kyrgyzstan during summer, before descending to spend the winter in the warmer plains of India and Pakistan. Few birds bridge such extremes of geography and altitude with such quiet capability.
