EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this adorable snapshot captured by Sergey Gorshkov, we witness a heartwarming moment on Wrangel Island, Far Eastern Russia. A proud snow goose (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) is seen brooding her fluffy chicks with faces that boast a unique rusty orange hue. But what's the secret behind their vibrant color? It turns out these little cuties have been foraging in iron-rich soil, giving them an unexpected fashion statement! As they roam the Arctic landscape, these waterfowl explorers are not only delighting our eyes but also showcasing their incredible adaptability. The young animals, still in their juvenile stage, exhibit playful behavior while under the watchful eye of their attentive parent. This charming display of parental care and bonding reminds us of the beauty and tenderness found within nature. Nestled within a protected area known as Zapovednik in the Russian Far East, these wild geese enjoy a safe haven to thrive and grow. With its vast landscapes and abundant wildlife, it's no wonder Wrangel Island has become home to such diverse avian species. So next time you stumble upon this print from Nature Picture Library by Sergey Gorshkov, take a moment to appreciate both the stunning colors and remarkable behaviors exhibited by these enchanting snow goose chicks!
