About These Birds
Demoiselle Crane
The demoiselle crane is the smallest crane species but undertakes one of the most grueling migrations, crossing the Himalayas at altitudes over 8,000 meters to reach wintering grounds in India. Named for its elegant appearance by Marie Antoinette, it is the second most abundant crane species in the world.
White-naped Crane
A grou-de-pescoço-branco é uma grande grou que nidifica na Mongólia, nordeste da China e extremo leste da Rússia, migrando no inverno para o sul da China, a península coreana e o Japão. Distinguível pelo pescoço branco contrastante com as asas e o corpo cinzentos e a face e coroa vermelhas nuas. Nidifica em pântanos e prados abertos. Classificada como vulnerável devido à perda de habitat nas zonas húmidas de invernagem.
