Moa-goose (SciiFii)

The moa-goose (Brontocygna anseroides) is a species of goose that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout Hawaii to help boost biodiversity. The moa-goose is the world's largest species of waterfowl, growing to be about the size of a very large moa, hence its name. The moa-goose fills a generalist herbivore niche (both browser and grazer) in lowland areas. These geese live in flocks and are very protective towards their chicks, much like the greylag goose (Anser anser), its closest living relative. The conservation status of the moa-goose is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the moa-goose's tolerance to many of the human activities.
