Canada Geese Information
The Canada goose is the largest goose in the world, with the subspecies "giant Canada goose" having specimens weighing over 20 pounds. Typically, however, most full grown Canada geese weigh between five and 14 pounds, with females weighing slightly smaller than the males. Full grown Canada geese measure between 30 to 45 inches in length and have a wingspan between 50 and 75 inches.

The Canada goose can be distinguished from other species of geese by its distinguished black neck and head, by a striking white "chinstrap" on the neck, and by a lightly colored breast and a brown back. Like other geese, they have an elongated neck, as well as webbed feet, and both of these adaptations make them quite agile in the water when they are going after food.

Canada Geese Facts
Canada geese live around 10-25 years on average in the wild, although some may live to be as old as 30. One goose lived to be 40 years old in captivity.
Canada geese mate for life, and will begin searching for a mate between 2-3 years of age. If a mate dies, the goose will try to find another mating partner.
Canada geese migrate in order to return to the area where they were born for mating and nesting.
Baby geese, called goslings, are incredibly impressionable and will follow virtually anything that moves, thinking it to be their mother. They have been known to follow dogs, ducks, and humans, and this behavior can be quite endearing.
Less than 24 hours after they are born, goslings will be lead to water by their parents to learn how to swim. The goslings will be able to dive 30-40 feet underwater by the time they are 1 day old.
Canada geese will violently attack anything that they sense as a threat to their goslings, including humans.
As they become more independent of their parents, groups of goslings may join together, forming "gang broods" of up to 100 goslings.
*****Goslings learn to fly between 2-3 months of age. For the first year of their lives, they stay with their parents, and will follow their parents during their first migration before forming into groups with other young geese. ---Thanks for watching and if you like this video please like and subscribe : )
