What is a male goose called?

A male goose is called a gander. Ganders are known for their loud honking or hissing sounds, especially when they feel threatened or are defending their territory. They are typically larger and more aggressive than female geese, especially during mating season when they are focused on attracting a mate and protecting their nest. Ganders are also known for their loyalty to their mate and offspring, often staying close to protect them from predators. In the wild, ganders are important members of their flock, helping to keep watch for danger and leading the group in search of food and water.
