Goslings are young geese, typically less than a year old. They are known for their soft, downy feathers, which are usually yellow or gray. Goslings are often seen following their parents, learning to swim and forage for food in ponds, lakes, and fields. As they grow, goslings develop stronger feathers and begin to resemble adult geese. They are social animals and usually stay in groups, called flocks. Goslings are important for the ecosystem, as they help maintain the balance in their habitats by grazing on vegetation and serving as prey for various predators.
