Great white goose (SciiFii)

The great white goose (Chloephaga ohioensis) is a species of waterfowl of the shelduck subfamily Tadorninae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, lakes, rivers, and ponds across North America to help boost biodiversity. The great white goose is a heavily built bird, growing to be about 70-80 centimeters (27-31 inches) in length. It has a tiny pink bill and white plumage except for black in the wings and tail. The female is similar to the male except that it is smaller. The voices of the male and female are easily distinguishable, with the male possessing a high-pitched twittering whistle and the female a lower-pitched cackling. The great white goose is herbivorous and primarily feeds on grasses and sedges. Great white geese are gregarious most of the year and are noisy. Loose flocks break up into pairs during the breeding season, during which the birds seek out a place to create a nest scrape in low grassy vegetation. Only the female incubates the 5-10 eggs, but the male stands on guard for the 30-day incubation period. Both parents raise the young who fledge after about 12 weeks. Great white geese are terrestrial grazers and are reluctant to take to the water unless with young. The conservation status of the great white goose is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the great white goose's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
