On July 6, 2024, a hiking trip in Kunming. Yunnan turned into an amusing race between a man and a large grey-black goose.

As the filmer struggled with exhaustion, gasping for breath, the goose surprisingly outpaced him on the mountain trail.

The filmer said he usually goes hiking on weekends and was surprised to see an owner walking ahead of him with a goose on this day. He was quite amazed at the goose's climbing skills as it could take one step at a time with such short legs and do not need to rest. Sometimes it even climbed too fast and overtook its owner, who had to go and pull it back.

After this video was released, the owner of the goose noticed it and told netizens that the smart goose, named "Jian Jian", had developed a deep bond with him as he was the first one it saw when it came out of the incubator, and would follow the owner wherever he went.
