The New Zealand goose is the common name given to the extinct genus Cnemiornis of the family Anatidae, subfamily Anserinae. The genus, endemic to New Zealand, consisted of two species: the North Island goose, C. gracilis and the South Island goose C. calcitrans. This goose was as large as some small moa. The North Island species had 15 kg (33 lb) in body mass while the South Island species reached 18 kg (40 lb), far surpassing Canada and Cape barren geese. They were flightless, with much-reduced webbing on the feet, an adaptation for terrestrial dwelling similar to that of the nene of Hawaii. They were never particularly common, and like many other large New Zealand endemic species they were subject to hunting pressures from the settling Polynesians, as well as predation upon their eggs an

- La Novzelandaj anseroj formis la formortintan genron Cnemiornis de la familio de Anasedoj, subfamilio de Anserenoj. La genro, endemia de Novzelando, konsistis el du specioj: la Nordinsula ansero, C. gracilis kaj la Sudinsula ansero C. calcitrans. Ili estis neflugaj birdoj kun ne grandaj retoj en piedoj, adapto por surtera loĝado simila al tiu de la nene de Havajo. Ili neniam estis partikulare komunaj, kaj kiel multaj aliaj grandaj endemiaj specioj de Novzelando ili suferis ĉaspremojn el la setliĝintaj Polinezianoj, same kiel predadon de siaj ovoj kaj idoj fare de kioreoj (ratoj kiuj akompanis la setlantojn) kaj la hundoj de la setlantoj, kaj estis formortigitaj antaŭ la alveno de eŭropaj setliĝantoj.

They were never particularly common, and like many other large New Zealand endemic species they were subject to hunting pressures from the settling Polynesians, as well as predation upon their eggs and hatchlings by kiore/Polynesian rat (which accompanied the settlers) and the settlers' dogs, and were extinct before the arrival of European settlers. They are usually considered most closely related to the Cape Barren goose of Australia. (en)
