Video: Goose parent leads ‘endless stream’ of baby geese
TRENTON, Mich. (WJW) – Dozens of goslings were spotted following a Canada goose in an adorable video captured in Michigan.
A full-grown goose was seen paddling along with dozens of fluffy babies following behind at a wildlife refuge in Michigan.
“Someone cue the clown-car music for this endless stream of baby Canada geese,” the United States Fish and Wildlife Service wrote on their Facebook page, where the video was posted. “These fine floofs were spotted at Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge.”
The Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge is located in Trenton, Michigan, southwest of Detroit.
According to the USFWS, Canada geese are “great adoptive parents,” and have strong parental instincts.
“Did you know that Canada geese are great adoptive parents?” The USFWS Facebook post asked. “They have such strong parental instincts, that they will often adopt orphaned or lost goslings, especially if the goslings are similar in size to their own offspring.”
