Animal of the Day!
Brant (Branta bernicla)
(Photo by Beko Binder)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Canada; Alaska; Eastern Siberia
Size (Weight/Length)- 2 kg; 65 cm; 120 cm wingspan
Diet- Eel-grass; Seaweed; Sea lettuce
Cool Facts- While lesser known than the Canada goose, the brant deserves just as much love. These geese never leave their coastal home, sticking to the saltwater. Brant feast on aquatic plants, using salt glands in their nares to excrete excess salt through their boogers. Brant used to exclusively feast on eel-grass, until 1931 when eel-grass almost went extinct due to a slime mold infesting the waters. The brant population dropped massively, at least until they learned that sea lettuce and seaweed made a great diet substitute. Today, they number half a million individuals.
Rating- 13/10 (Was once classified as a fish rather than a bird, I’m not joking.)

BOTD: Brant

"No other geese nest as far north as the Brant, and few migrate as far. These small geese are characteristic of coastal areas in summer and winter; most birdwatchers know them from seeing their wintering flocks along both of our coasts. Traveling between their summer and winter outposts, they may fly at altitudes of several thousand feet as they cross great expanses of land or open ocean."
