This crane is the second rarest crane in the world. Like other kinds of cranes, the neck , the beak and the legs of this bird are also long. Red-crowned crane can live to the age of 50 60.
red-crowned cranes almost became fashion victims. They were hunted to the brink of extinction so that their beautiful plumage could be used to adorn hats and other fashion accessories. Today, hunting these birds is illegal. Their estimated population is about 1,500 in the wild.
