Goose Hybrids
Charles Darwin described hybrid geese in Origin of Species:
The hybrids from the common and Chinese geese (A. cygnoides), species which are so different that they are generally ranked in distinct genera, have often bred in this country with either pure parent, and in one single instance they have bred inter se.
Goose hybrids include Canada Goose x Greylag Goose, Canada Goose x Domesticated Geese, Emperor goose x Canada goose, Red-breasted goose x Canada goose, Canada goose x White-fronted goose and Barnacle goose x Canada goose.

Famous quotes containing the word goose:
“Hey, diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.”
—Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. Hey, diddle, diddle (l. 1–6)
