Being a gosling looks exhausting!

Learning to go up steps.  Must be hard to do with only little stubs for wings.  Wouldn't that be like us hiking without arms?

Look at the little guy ready to jump off the railroad tie.  I'd be scared.  Once again, they're able to balance themselves when jumping down without the use of wings.

More big jumps up for these little guys.  They were so tired by the time they got to the next to the last step that they found a way to walk up to the last step - must have been like smaller steps or a ramp.

All that hard work makes a gosling so tired.  Like human babies, don't they look so innocent while asleep?

Notice the leg extended behind the gosling on the right.  Could that be comfortable?  Then again, some human babies often sleep in totally uncomfortable looking positions.

Can't be too uncomfortable to extend a leg while sleeping if 2 of them are doing it.  I'd have to think their legs would be sore from jumping up and down and swimming.  No wonder they're napping!
