ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО WHOOPING CRANE
Американский журавль
The Who Crane, самая высокая североамериканская птица, представляет собой находящийся под угрозой исчезновения вид крана, названный в честь его кривого звука. В 2003 году насчитывалось около 153 пар косилок. Наряду с хребтом Сандхилл это один из двух видов кранов, обнаруженных в Северной Америке. Продолжительность жизни копыта составляет от 22 до 24 лет в дикой природе. После выхода на грань вымирания путем нерегулируемой охоты и потери среды обитания до 21 дикой природы и двух пленных копытных крейсеров к 1941 году усилия по сохранению привели к ограниченному восстановлению. По состоянию на 2011 год насчитывается 437 птиц в дикой природе и более 165 в неволе.
