Branta canadensis, commonly known as the Canada Goose, is native to North America. Its geographical distribution spans across Canada, the United States, and parts of Northern Mexico. This species has also been introduced to parts of Europe and New Zealand, where it has established breeding populations.

Canada Geese typically inhabit wetlands, including ponds, lakes, rivers, marshes, and fields located near water bodies. They prefer areas with abundant aquatic vegetation and open landscapes that provide both feeding grounds and nesting sites. The climate of these habitats varies widely, from temperate to Arctic climates, reflecting the migratory nature of the species.

Canada Geese are adaptable and occupy a variety of habitats, making them one of the most successful waterfowl species. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on grasses, grains, and aquatic plants. The species exhibits varying migratory patterns, with some populations being resident year-round in mild climates, while others migrate between breeding and wintering grounds, reflecting their adaptability to different ecological niches.
