帝雁（學名：Anser canagicus；英語：Emperor goose），是雁屬的一種鳥類，分佈于阿拉斯加附近。雄性體長在66～71厘米（26～28英寸）之間，雌性略小[3]。其種群數量一度由於石油污染等環境問題及人類捕殺而下降。非阿拉斯加居民在獲得許可後方可獵殺帝雁，但它在美國本土是嚴格禁獵的。[3] 參考文獻 ^ Anser canagicus.

Encyclopedic overview
The emperor goose (Anser canagicus), also known as the beach goose or the painted goose, is a waterfowl species in the family Anatidae, which contains the ducks, geese, and swans. In summer, the emperor goose is found in remote coastal areas near the Bering Sea in arctic and sub-arctic Alaska and the Russian Far East, where it breeds in monogamous pairs. It migrates south to winter in ice-free mudflats and coasts in Alaska, mostly the Aleutian Islands, and Canada's British Columbia, rarely reaching the contiguous United States. Listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the species' population is declining due to threats such as pollution, hunting, and climate change.
