== Fossil record == Goose fossils have been found ranging from 10 to 12 million years ago (Middle Miocene). ''[[Garganornis ballmanni]]'' from [[Late Miocene]] (~ 6β9 Ma) of [[Gargano]] region of central Italy, stood one and a half meters tall and weighed about 22 kilograms. The evidence suggests the bird was flightless, unlike modern geese.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Fossils from ancient extinct giant flightless goose suggests it was a fighter|url=https://phys.org/news/2017-01-fossils-ancient-extinct-giant-flightless.html|access-date=21 November 2020|website=phys.org|language=en|author=Yirka, Bob|date=2017}}</ref>
