Nene, Hawaiian Goose
The most distinctive thing about the Hawaiian goose, and it's a pretty amazing thing indeed, is that it is the only goose adapted to live in the harsh environment of lava rock formations. Their feet are less webbed than other goose species thus allowing them to claw their way over rocky terrain. Sadly, they are one of the many endangered native species in Hawaii. Thankfully conservation efforts are actively in place. As a matter of fact, a small population of nene live about a half a mile away from me at the Honolulu Zoo.
