About Ross's Goose (Anser rossii)
- Kingdom: Animals
- Phylum: Chordates
- Class: Birds
- Order: Anseriformes
- Family: Swans, Geese, and Ducks
Ross's goose is a white goose with black wingtips and a relatively short neck. It is the smallest of the three white geese that breed in North America. It is similar in appearance to a white-phase snow goose, but about 40% smaller. Other differences from the snow goose are that the bill is smaller in proportion to its body and lacks "black lips". Like snow geese, Ross's geese may exhibit a darker "blue" phase or morph, though this is extremely rare.
