ne-ne

Species of goose, genus Branta sandvicensis, order Anseriformes, related to the Canada goose but with shorter wings and reduced webs on the feet. About 100 years ago, around 25,000 ne-nes lived on Hawaii, but the introduction of pigs, cats, dogs, rats, and mongooses has almost led to the extinction of this ground-nesting bird.
