Northern robust goose (SciiFii)

The northern robust goose (Neochen americanus), is a species of waterfowl of the shelduck subfamily Tadorninae, most closely related to the very similar-looking Orinoco goose, which originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, rivers, and lakes across North America to help boost biodiversity. The northern robust goose is usually around 61 to 76 centimeters (24 to 30 inches) long. It has a yellowish-pale head and neck, chestnut flanks and mantle and blackish wings with a white speculum. The legs are red and the bill is black and pinkish. The sexes of this striking species are identical in plumage, though the males are larger; juveniles have duller plumage than adults. The male has a high pitched whistling call, and the female cackles like the distantly related Egyptian goose. The Orinoco goose is a very territorial species in the breeding season, and usually nests either in hollow trees or on the ground. Males will display by pulling back their head, expand their chest, flap their wings and charge toward any pending threat. They form bonding pairs that stay together year round. The northern robust goose feeds primarily by grazing on the grasslands and fields adjacent to the rivers by which they nest. The northern robust goose will also eat aquatic plants, herbs and insects. The conservation status of the northern robust goose is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the northern robust goose's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
