Vaaraohani, Alopochen aegyptiacus


Vaaraohaned olid vanadele egiptlastele pühad linnud ning seetõttu on neid kujutatud rohkelt ka tolleaegsetes kunstiteostes. Tollel ajal olid nad mitmel pool ka kodustatud linnud. Tänapäeval on tegemist ühe levinuima hanelisega Aafrikas ning mitmeid kolooniad on tekkinud ka Euroopasse. Gautengi provints, LAV.
The eqyptian goose was a sacred bird for the ancient egyptians and therefore is widely depicted in their artwork. At that time these geese were also domesticated in many parts of Egypt. Nowadays it is one of the most common geese in Africa, having several populations also in Western Europe. Gauteng province, South Africa.
