Nënë Geese are new at the zoo
NeNe goose
Nënë geese like the one shown here are protected by a Species Survival Plan (SSP) breeding program. The Great Bend zoo received two Nënë geese this week from SeaWorld San Diego.
The Great Bend Brit Spaugh Zoo welcomed two new residents on Tuesday, Mauka and Makai, a pair of brother Nënë geese. Curator and Zoo Supervisor Sara Hamlin said they moved here from SeaWorld San Diego so they will spend the winter in what used to be the tiger barn because they have not had time to acclimate to Kansas weather.
