About These Birds
Emu
에뮤는 두 번째로 키가 큰 현존 조류이자 호주 최대 조류이다. 날지 못하지만 시속 50km로 달릴 수 있으며 강한 다리로 포식자를 방어한다. 수컷이 알을 품고 새끼를 기른다.
Red-crowned Crane
The red-crowned crane is one of the rarest crane species and a potent symbol of longevity and fidelity in East Asian culture. Their elaborate unison call and dancing displays have inspired art and folklore for millennia. The resident population on Hokkaido, Japan, recovered from about 33 birds in 1952 to over 1,800 today.
