Percent change in the body fat of snow geese after feeding in the 1002 Area for three weeks: +400
According to USFW biologists, "The birds feed like crazy - up to 16 hours a day. They eat as much as a third of their weight every day, increasing their body fat by 400% in only two to three weeks - the same as a 150 pound person gaining 30 pounds of fat."
Pretty cool, huh?
