		Goose (plural geese) is the general English name for a considerable number of birds, belonging to the family Anatidae.
		Goose in its origins is one of the oldest words of the Indo-European languages, the modern names deriving from the proto-Indo-European root, ghans, hence Sanskrit hamsa (feminine hamsii), Latin anser, Greek khén etc.
		There are Mother Goose tales, such as a farmwife might have told; there is the proverbial goose that laid the golden eggs, warning about the perils of greed.

Goose (plural geese) is the general English name for a considerable number of birds, belonging to the family Anatidae.

This goose was exposed near a stand selling produces such as foie gras.

Geese can be roasted as a whole bird, though their size precludes this preparation except for banquets and other festive meals (such as on Christmas).

		Relative effects of survival and reproduction on the population dynamics of emperor geese.
		Populations of emperor geese (Chen canagica) in Alaska declined sometime between the mid-1960s and the mid-1980s and have increased little since.
		To further explore how parameter estimates affected estimates of growth rate, we used values of survival and reproduction found in other goose species, and we examined the effect of an hypothesized correlation between an individual's clutch size and the subsequent survival of her young.

		Emperor goose is not the commonest goose in captivity in Germany, but fairly common (every zoo I visited inthe last years had at least a few, sometimes with young and you also see them at waterfowl keepers or breeders-Ross goose and snow goose seem to be more uncommon here).
		Also in the Netherlands, Emperor geese occur in private collections; and as Jaap mentions there were escaped individuals around in the area.
		So I think it is likely ; together with some features common in emperor goose hybrids-for example dark feathers in the white area around the tail- you see this characteristic in both photographs.

	Human Disturbances to Waterfowl
		Emperor geese (Chen canagica) had the highest rate of nesting success because they were more reluctant than other species to leave their nests when the authors were in the area.
		For the 3 years, destruction of nests by natives amounted to 34% of the total number of unsuccessful emperor goose and brant (Branta bernicla) nests on the study area and 37% of the total nest losses attributed to predation; this probably will persist for many years.
		About 57% of all emperor goose eggs lost on the study area were from nests classified as successful; investigator disturbance contributed to predation on eggs.

		Although the more abundant Cackling Canada Geese (Branta canadensis minima) differed from Emperor Geese in their preferred use of habitats during brooding rearing (Schmutz 2001), the two species occurred in equal abundance in habitats preferred by Emperor Goose broods.
		Emperor Geese (Chen canagica) are the least abundant of four species of geese that nest and rear broods sympatrically on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (King and Derksen 1986, Sedinger 1996a).
