Nene goose (Branta sandvicensis) is also an endangered species from hunting which was stopped in 1950 when it was realized there was only about 30 of them. They are making a comeback here in Kauai where mongoose have not colonized (mongoose are on the other islands, but not here...yet).

They are a bit smaller than Canadian geese and have become very friendly on this island because of the tourists' bad habit of feeding them.
