About These Birds
Wattled Crane
Wattled Crane (Bugeranus carunculatus) is Africa's largest crane at 120–175 cm. Grey above, white neck; distinctive long feathered white wattles below the chin. Inhabits large shallow Afrotropical wetlands, flooded grasslands, and Okavango-type systems. Vulnerable; fewer than 8,000 birds survive.
Jungfernkranich
Der Jungfernkranich ist die kleinste Kranichart, unternimmt jedoch einen der anstrengendsten Vogelzüge, indem er den Himalaya in Höhen von über 8.000 Metern überquert, um seine Winterquartiere in Indien zu erreichen. Wegen seiner eleganten Erscheinung von Marie-Antoinette benannt, ist er die zweithäufigste Kranichart der Welt.
