Gander is the opposite of a goose.
All goose species have a male and female counterpart. The gender of a goose is determined by the sex of the egg. But what is the opposite gender of a goose?
The answer to this question has been found in recent research conducted at University of Otago in New Zealand.
It was discovered that all other types of geese (including alpine, brant, snipe, and pied) are paired with only one gender, while the opposite gender is found only among white-tailed sea ducks (“Aythya marila”), which are spotted and black-tailed sea ducks (“Aythya nyroca”).
Answer: Gander is the opposite of a goose.
A goose was the first animal seen by humans in what is now mainland Europe around 40,000 years ago. It was a highly social creature, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. They are considered to be both omnivorous and herbivorous, spending much of their time foraging for food and eating water plants like ferns. The goose’s primary predators were humans, though there were also birds of prey in the group as well. A female will lay only one egg at a time unless she has plenty of food – when she lays two eggs at once she may lay more than two eggs per day.
