Cranes are large, tall birds that are found on every continent except Antarctica. They have long legs and necks, and their wingspan can reach up to 7 feet and can omnivorous, eating both plants and animals. They often feed in shallow wetlands or grasslands, where they can find a variety of food sources. Cranes form strong pair bonds with their mates and usually mate for life. Their nests are made of sticks and reeds on the ground near water sources or in trees. They use a variety of calls to communicate with each other, including trumpeting sounds during courtship displays. The most threatened species of crane is the whooping crane which is endangered due to habitat destruction and hunting pressure. Conservation efforts have been successful in increasing the population size of this species over recent years.
