The spur-winged goose is a large waterbird from Sub-Saharan Africa, and on average it is the world's largest goose. Some populations are poisonous to eat: birds that feed on many blister beetles carry a poison called cantharidin in their body tissue.1

Siyatyhefa okanye sinetyhefu? Izilwanyana ezinetyhefu zitofa ityhefu ngokuluma okanye ngokuhlaba. Izilwanyana ezityhefayo ziyingozi xa uzichukumisa okanye uzitya. Esi siyatyhefa.

Sihlala

Sub-Saharan Africa, including eastern and southern Africa, and western Africa from Senegal to Chad1

Ekhaya

Open grasslands with lakes, seasonal pools, rivers, swamps and river deltas. Large inland rivers and lakes are the most common homes. It avoids salt lakes and upland areas, though it can live up to 3,000 m in eastern Africa, and it is absent from dry zones.1

Amandla etyhefu

Siyatyhefa xa sityiwa

Siyingozi kuphela ukuba kukho into esityayo.

Ityhefu yaso etyhefayo (xa usichukumisa okanye usitya) yenza ntoni?

This goose is not venomous. Its poison, cantharidin, is held in the bird's tissue and comes from blister beetles it eats. Eating the cooked goose poisons the person who eats it.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

Only populations whose diet includes large amounts of blister beetles are poisonous. A dose of 10 mg of cantharidin can kill a human. The risk is to people who eat the cooked goose.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Its alarm call is a soft bubbling "cherwit" when it takes flight or feels alarmed.1

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile okanye usityile

Ukuba umntu usityile okanye uneempawu emva kokusitya: tsalela inombolo kaxakeka okanye iziko lezityhefu (poison centre) ngoko nangoko.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba usichukumisile okanye usityile: musa ukukhuhla amehlo okanye umlomo wakho, hlamba izandla zakho kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango.

Asikuzingeli. Ityhefu yaso ikhona nje ukuze kungabikho nto isityayo. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

On average, it is the world's largest goose. It is also one of the largest African waterfowl, after the wading Goliath heron.1

During the breeding season, it is highly aggressive. It can use the spur on the bend of its wing in fights with other birds.1

Its wingspan can reach 150 to 200 cm, which is wider than most adults are tall.1

Its nests can be found in unusual places, including tree holes, rock cavities, old nests of other birds, termite mounds and aardvark burrows.1

Although it belongs to the duck, goose and swan family, Anatidae, its unique features place it in its own subfamily, the Plectropterinae.1
