In the Arctic, they often breed in steep cliffs that are unattainable for Arctic Foxes. After hatching, the flightless goslings have to jump off cliffs of up to 30 metres high to reach their feeding areas. People like to keep this species as an ornamental species, which is why most sightings in Switzerland are almost certainly birds escaped from captivity."}
