    The geese fly in a "human" or "one" shape because they fly all day long, and the strength of one goose alone is not enough, and they must help each other to fly fast and far. When the vigorous geese flutter their wings and fly, the tips of the wings fan a gust of wind, and send them from below to the top, so that the geese will be gently lifted, and the geese will not be left behind after a long journey.

    Generally the wild goose in front of it, is very powerful, very experienced, because of the effect of the head goose flapping its wings, driving the air current, if the line of "human" or "one" shape to fly, the back of the wild goose will fly very easily, do not have to rest many times.

    The geese are arranged in a neat herringbone or zigzag, which is also a manifestation of the instinct of the cluster. Because this is conducive to defending against enemies. The flock of geese is always led by experienced old geese as the "captain" and flies at the front of the team.

    During the flight, the wild goose leading the team is very physically exerted, so it often switches places with other geese.

    Young and frail birds are mostly in the middle of the procession. When stopping at the water's edge to look for aquatic plants, an experienced old goose always acts as a sentinel. If the lone goose flies south, there is a danger of being eaten by the enemy.

    Queue flight resistance is minimal.

    Wild geese with a leader will not get lost.

    And you can take care of each other.

    The geese use the lifting force of the updraft to glide, one after the other, and the low pressure area will reduce air resistance and reduce physical wear, so that the geese form a neat herringbone or zigzag formation, and the queue is also good for defending against predators and helping.

    The geese fly in line to reduce the air resistance of the geese behind. This inspires athletes to stay close behind the leader in long-distance races.

    Dayans are excellent air travelers. In autumn and winter, they fly from their home Siberia in flocks to the south of our country to spend the winter. The following spring, they return to Siberia after a long journey to lay eggs for breeding.

    The wild geese fly very fast, they can fly 68 90 kilometers per hour, and the long journey of several thousand kilometers has to fly for a month or two.

    It turns out that such a team can save effort when flying. The first goose flapping its wings a few times will produce an updraft, and the geese in the back follow closely and can use this air flow to fly faster and with less effort. In this way, one after the other, the flock of geese is naturally arranged in a neat "human" or "one" shape.

    They fly long distances for two purposes: one is to fly from Siberia to the Central Plains, Central China, South China and Southeast Asia, in order to survive the winter. Generally, it is after the white dew to go south.

    The second is that when the spring flowers bloom (before and after the shock), I return from the tropical north, and my hometown is not cold, so I can go home and have children.

    Geese are migratory birds, and in autumn and winter, they flock to warm places from higher latitudes to spend the winter.

    During the long-distance migration, the formation of the flock of geese is very tightly organized, they often line up in the shape of "human" or "one", and constantly make "quack, quack" sounds when flying.

    Wild geese can fly 69 90 kilometers per hour, but because the flight distance is too long, it generally takes 1 to 2 months to reach their destination. During long-haul flights, geese use the rising air currents to glide and thus conserve physical strength. The geese in front flap their wings to form a weak updraft, and the geese in the back use the lifting force of the updraft to glide.

    One follows the other, so that a neat "human" or "one" formation is formed.

    In addition, lining up in the shape of "human" or "one" is also the embodiment of the instinct of the wild goose swarm, which is conducive to defending against enemies.

    By flying in a "V" shape, the geese can move.

    Flying in line can reduce the exertion of physical strength. The geese in front of them flapped their wings, causing the air to flow faster and the air flow to rise. In this way, the wild geese behind can reduce the drag when flying, and fly fast and with less effort.

    Because the flight time of the wild goose is very long, it cannot be completed on its own, so it needs the strength of the group, flying together can help each other, encourage each other, queue up is mainly a normal state of defense, and can let the younger cubs fly in the middle to protect the cubs.

    In order to reduce air resistance and improve the effect of air on the wings, they can fly farther, and it can also reduce the pressure of flying, so everyone pays a little less effort to ensure that the flight time is increased when the flight speed is inconvenient.

    The wild goose flies south or a word or a human word, I personally think that it is because it will be easy to fly in this way, and it will not leave behind its friends, if there is one less, you can know it immediately.

    When the geese moved south, why did they line up in a zigzag and herringbone shape?

    People call this phenomenon "wild goose formation", the reason why the wild geese move south to line up in the shape of "one" and "people" is mainly to save physical strength, when the wild geese accelerate their flight, the team will be lined up in the shape of "people", when the wings of the head goose flying in front of it cross the air, behind it or form a low pressure area.

    In this way, when the geese that follow closely behind them fly, they can make good use of this low pressure area to reduce air resistance, thereby saving physical strength.

    However, because the head goose does not have this weak updraft to exploit, it is easy to get tired, so during the long-distance migration, the goose flock needs to constantly change the head goose, and often change the formation to migrate south smoothly for the winter.
