In a semi-established population of Bar-headed Geese a couple of hybrids have emerged and been there at least since 2001. One parent of these two birds appears to a Bar-headed Goose Anser indicus , the second parent appears to be an branta. It has been speculated to be a Barnacle goose.

Puoliksi vakiintuneessa Kemijoen sellutehtaan intianhanhipopulaatiossa on pari riesteymää. Toisena osapuolena on ilmeisimmin intianhanhi, ja toinen emoista vaikuttaa olevan branta, minkä on arveltu olevan valkoposkihanhen.
