If a rabbit is a mammal then why dont male rabbits have nipples?
Not all male mammals have nipples. I believe mice, rats, and horses are examples of mammals where the males do not have nipples. In fact, the platypus is a mammal, but it has pores and no nipples.
Why this is, I do not know. I am trying to find out, but the information seems to be hard to come by.

What does a goose liver look like inside of a goose?
It looks as any liver would. It is reddish brown depending on how healthy the goose was. It would have lines, folds and bloodstreams travelling inside and out.
Are young birds such as geese ducks and shore birds born with there eyes open?
Birds fall into two categories; precocial and altricial. Most ground nesters are precocial; quail, killdeer, ducks, geese and chickens to name a few. Meaning that the babies are born with downy feathers, eyes open and within hours are seen to be scurrying around and eating. Then we have the birds who nest in trees; these babies are altricial. They are born naked, eyes closed, and completely helpless and dependent upon the parent birds
Canada geese are ready to accept a mate during their third summer alive.
If a Canadian goose lays eggs that are destroyed, they usually re-nest near the initial nesting site. Since they can only raise one clutch per year, they do not lay eggs again that year after they have a successful hatching.

How do you stitch a wound on geese?
Without having access to medical supplies, trying to suture a wound on a goose at home will cause more damage than leaving it alone. If your goose needs medical attention, you should take it to a veterinarian who can sedate the goose, clean the wound and suture with proper supplies as needed.
What size cage do you need for a pet goose?
OK, if you have a dog this is going to be easy but if not then i don't know. So, do you know how for some pet dogs they are in a wire cage, a happy kennel thing? Well go to a ranch store and ask for dog cage panels. They are about 5ft long and 6ft tall so if you get those the your gonna need a lot of chicken wire unless you want to clip your birds wings.
Gooses, or geese, don't have ears. They have small slots that the hear out of on the side of their head. The size truly depends on the size of the goose. I know that Canadian geese have "ears" a centimeter or two in diameter.
Depending on what store or brand you want to buy prices differ. Around $2.50 for a dozen eggs is reasonable.

A gander is a male goose, and people eat geese. I am aware of no law prohibiting the eating of gander, but some areas have strange laws. Physically it is possible.
Do geese all fly at the same speed while flying in a v?
Not sure about the same speed but the leader of the V changes with other geese its flying with, because if they are at the front they are taking most of the air resistance and is therefore harder to fly for them.
Almost, but the ones at the back are going a little slower or else they'd all be in a line not a V.
Why are Canadian geese on rooftops?
Perhaps a bird on the roof is worth two in the river?

Excellent observation! For some reason this year more Canadas than ever are now on rooftops.
I am still looking into this phenomena but I believe it has to do with safety. From the highest vantage point in a given area, the bird can see any preditors that may be heading his/her way and escape without harm.
Was this idea to perch high learned from other birds, like parrots, which always seek the highest ground for safety? Or was it the idea of a local Canada that decided to try something new this year, trying to figure out how to best protect his wife on the nest and spread the idea to other members of the flock...where they in turrn are following his lead?
I am not certain. Three out of five of our functioning Canada nests have the males standing guard on the rooftop, looking down upon the female. Odd, because last year, all these fellas were on ther ground.
