A domesticated goose was almost mistaken for a wild swan because of its superb flying skills.

After buying the goose from a market in Donggang, Liaoning province, Liu, its owner, tried to eat it for dinner on Monday. Seeing Liu's knife, the goose broke away and flew around the house.

Liu chased the goose on the ground for over 5 km and finally seized it when it landed for a break. Later, he called an expert to identify what kind of species of "swan" it was, but found it was just an ordinary goose. Liu has decided he will not eat the bird.
