Description
Birds get named after people, after habits, after all sorts of things. The Latin name is the same around the world for that bird. So it's true that at one point in time the Branta canadensis was called a Canada Goose, because it was often seen flying towards Canada and living there.
The vast majority of English speaking people call the goose that is large and has a black head—Branta canadensis—a Canadian Goose. However, its original name was a CANADA Goose.
