Canadian Goose

Branta canadensis

Description:

Canada Goose was considered extinct until a few remnant populations were discovered in the early 1960's. Over-hunting and destruction of wetlands had driven them to the brink. Improved game management practices and extensive re-introduction programs were begun to stabilize the subspecies and today it is doing fine. This Canadian Goose has adapted with nature even though he has lost a leg.

Habitat:

Lakes and rivers. They just love water.
