Giant Hawaii goose (SciiFii)

The giant Hawai'i goose (Branta rhuax), also known as the Hawaii giant goose, is a species of goose endemic to the island of Hawai'i. It was once extinct since the early Holocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Hawai'i to help boost biodiversity. The giant Hawaii goose is completely flightless, unlike most goose species, due to the lack of natural predators on Hawai'i, resulting in his species being larger than flying Branta species, about the size of a large swan. The giant Hawaii goose is a herbivore like most other species of goose, feeding on the availability of vegetation, including the leaves, seeds, fruit, and flowers of grasses and shrubs. The giant Hawaii goose is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the giant Hawaii goose is Vulnerable due to some habitat loss and, historically, invasive predators and egg-eating mammals, however, thanks to the conservationists, the giant Hawaii goose is a protected species and the invasive predators (such as egg-eating mammals) have been eradicated from all of the Hawaiian islands.
