About These Birds
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.
