재두루미(Grus vipio)는 동아시아산 112–125cm의 대형 두루미다. 회색 몸통에 흰 목과 목덜미가 붉은 맨살 얼굴과 대비되며 목에 줄무늬 패턴이 있다. 몽골·중국 북동부에서 번식하고 일본·한국·양쯔강 유역에서 월동한다. 취약종으로 6,000마리 미만만 남아 있다.
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.
