The Cape Barren Goose is one of the world’s rarest and most understudied species of geese, and is found on Kangaroo Island! Cape Barren Geese were introduced to the island after being hunted almost to extinction on the mainland last century.

Many animals, including humans, prefer facial symmetry in their mates as it can indicate a good rearing environment during growth and development. In this study, we aim to assess whether facial symmetry differs across the population of the Cape Barren Goose and if individuals with with more symmetrical facial features have more luck in love.
