Presenting one of the rarest cranes in the world: the red-crowned crane. Featured in today"s image, this bird enchants with its beauty and cultural significance. Also known as the Manchurian crane, it is celebrated as a symbol of luck, longevity and loyalty. These cranes are true foodies with a taste for variety! While their diet hasn"t been fully explored, we know they munch on everything from rice, carrots and acorns to water plants like reeds. They also enjoy a meaty menu of fish (carp and goldfish are favourites), amphibians, insects and even small reptiles, birds and rodents.
