Goose Solution?

You can find nine southern white rhinos, ostriches and dozens of African antelope on the Watani Grasslands' African plains exhibit at the NC Zoo. You will also find many Canada geese (other "volunteer" additions to the Zoo).

To try to create a more geographically accurate collection there, General Curator Steve Miller reports that six African spur-winged geese will be added to the mix.

The hope? That the aggressive African geese, with natural weapons on their wings, will drive the North American geese to a more appropriate, American habitat.
