Feature:

 The African Goose is a breed of domestic goose.
Not actually African at all, African geese are descended from the wild Swan Goose, just like their close cousin the Chinese Goose. Though they share some similar characteristics (such as color variations), the two can be distinguished by the African's larger dewlap and different knob shape. African geese are also quite a bit heavier than Chinese, and are more well-known for their docile temperaments.
