Here's a test render of one of my new goose species I'm working on, the Emperor Goose. The Emperor Goose breeds around the Bering Sea, mostly in Alaska (United States), but also in Kamchatka (Russia). It is migratory, wintering mainly in the Aleutian Islands. It eats shoreline grasses and other coastal plants and is much less gregarious than most geese, usually occurring only in family groups. It is found in coastal saltmarshes and winters along ice-free coasts. This species has "near threatened" status with less than 85,000 adults remaining. Factors affecting its population fluctuations are poorly understood, but subsistence hunting in Alaska and coastal oil pollution are considered to be contributory. Climate change and associated habitat shifts are expected to impact negatively on this species and others dependent on tundra habitat for breeding. Modeling indicates that 54% of the habitat for this species could be lost by 2070. Rendered in Poser 2014 with a Vue background image.
