Nēnē-nui (SciiFii)

The nēnē-nui (Hawaiian: "great nēnē") or woodwalking goose (translation of Branta hylobadistes) is a species of goose that is native to Maui, Kaua'i, O'ahu, and Moloka'i (although the original populations may have not lived in these islands other than Maui) and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the Hawaiian islands to help boost biodiversity. The nēnē-nui resembles a hybrid between a Canada goose (Branta canadensis) and a nene (Branta sandvicensis), but with a more dull brown coloration and shorter wings than either species, as a result of adapting to the island(s) without any natural mammalian predators. The nēnē-nui is also 5% larger than the nene, closer in size to the Canada goose due to insular gigantism. The nēnē-nui 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 nēnē-nui is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the nēnē-nui is Vulnerable due to some habitat loss and, historically, invasive predators and egg-eating mammals, however, thanks to the conservationists, the nēnē-nui is a protected species and the invasive predators (such as egg-eating mammals) have been eradicated from all of the Hawaiian islands.
