Summary

[edit]
Description The Nēnē is a species of goose endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. It shares a recent common ancestor with the Canada Goose. The official bird of the State of Hawai’i, the Nēnē is exclusively found in the wild of the islands of Maui, Kaua’i and Hawai’i. A larger, extinct and possibly flightless species, the Nēnē-nui (Branta hylobadistes), was present in prehistoric times on Maui; related, but hitherto undescribed forms also occurred on Kaua’i and O’ahu; there was also a gigantic, flightless relative on the island of Hawai’i.
