Continuing on the Asian Highlands trail at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium after the Red Panda exhibit I came to the White-naped Crane exhibit.

Photographs taken on 30 May 2018.

White-naped Crane

White-naped Cranes stand about 4 feet (1.25 meters) high and weigh 12 pounds (5.6 kilograms).

The native habitat of White-naped Cranes are the grassy marshes, lake depressions and boggy upland wetlands, wet sedge meadows and reedbeds in broad river valleys of northern Mongolia, central China, southern Siberia, North and South Korea, and Japan.
