Whooping Crane — size comparison — facts and sources
The whooping crane breeds in wetlands with rushes and aquatic plants. Its main wild population migrates between Canada and Texas coasts. Winter estuaries, shallow bays and tidal flats differ from other reintroduced populations’ sites and routes.
It eats crabs, molluscs, small animals and plants. Pairs call and dance with bows and leaps. Ground-level nests produce chicks following parents.
