No oxygen? No problem. These sturdy geese might not fly for the longest time, but not other birds consistently fly as high on their migrations. On their travels from their breeding areas in Mongolia, the Tibetan Plateau and northern China to their wintering sites in India, these birds cross over the Himalayas using less than ten per cent of the oxygen available at sea level, reaching altitudes of up to 7,000 m with no help from any tailwinds. While researchers have concluded they do save energy by hugging the mountain ground and flying at night time, scientists are still unsure of the genetics behind their extraordinary resistance. Despite the fact that their population trend appears to be decreasing, this goose has an extremely large range and is categorised by BirdLife as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
