This is the hilarious moment an aggressive goose attacked a woman, leaving bite marks on her legs.

Two holidaymakers were strolling through Sun-Link-Sea Forest Recreation Area when they encountered the feisty waterfowl on a walkway in Nantou, Taiwan.

Footage shows Ying Ying, dressed in white, screaming as she backed away from the bird charging at her on September 15.

The visibly enraged goose can be seen pecking the tourist's leg before ambling toward another vacationer filming the scene.

Meanwhile, the pair can be heard laughing at the comical encounter.

Ying Ying said: 'I was left with a large bruise on the back of my leg, but I am fine.'

Experts said that geese attack mainly to protect their territory, nests, or young, respond to perceived threats, assert dominance, or sometimes out of hunger if accustomed to human food.
