American crane: The tallest and most precious crane bird in North America is similar to the white crane in appearance.

What does the American crane look like

American cranes are very similar to the white cranes in China. They also have very elegant white feathers and are strong, but their necks and legs are slender, accounting for almost two-thirds of their height. The most special thing is that after their wings are unfolded, many black feathers can be seen at the end, and the most attractive thing about their whole body is that the front end of their heads is bright red. This bare hairless skin is like wearing a hat.

Of course, the American crane also has its own unique features, such as its beak is gray, its roots are slightly orange, and its tip is slightly blue. Moreover, its exposed bright red skin is not completely red, and the part near the white feathers will grow sparse black fluff, and the legs of the American crocodile are not pink, but rather dull gray-black. These are the most obvious differences from the white crane, but it must be said that it is almost a twin species of the white crane. Living habits of American cranes

This kind of crane is a unique bird in North America. It has a very special migratory habit, so it is concentrated in the coastal areas of Mexico and Texas in the United States every autumn and winter. As long as it gathers in the wetland environment of the reserve, they can easily catch many small aquatic animals, such as frogs and crustaceans, with their sharp and slender mouths, but American cranes rarely eat fish. Population status of American cranes

American cranes used to be found almost everywhere in the North American continent, no matter in grassland or frozen soil. However, with the shrinking scope of swamps, wetlands and other environments on the North American continent, their habitats have been affected, so the population of American cranes has gradually decreased with the decrease of water in wetlands, and the increase of farmland and human hunting often occur, so the current population of American cranes has only given birth to 127, even at the most endangered time.
