There were fewer than 300 whooping cranes in the 21st century mainly due to habitat loss, hunting, and low reproductive rates. These factors have significantly impacted the population, making it difficult for them to recover and increase in numbers. Conservation efforts are in place to protect and increase the population of whooping cranes.
Male whooping cranes have white bodies and black faces that are similar to females. The difference is that males have a bright red patch that spreads from their breaks to the tops of their heads.
Yes, but they don't fly as fast as other cranes. They tend to be larger and bulkier than other cranes.
A canter is less than a gallop.
593 divided by 6 is less than 100 but more than 10. It equals approximately 98.83.
The less than sign < is a mathematical symbol used to indicate that one quantity is smaller than another. It is commonly used in mathematical inequalities and can be read as "is less than."
To protect whooping cranes, there are several whooping crane sanctuaries throughout the United States. One of these sanctuaries is located in Baraboo, Wisconsin. At this sanctuary, whooping cranes are monitored and their eggs are protected until they hatch. When the cranes are mature, they are released into the wild.
No, but there are about only 500 left, counting wild and human-raised chicks & adults .
Outbreaks of the disease were first described in the 16th century but it has been around for much longer than that.

I have read somewhere that the name Whooping Crane, meant "friend" or "ally" to the Native American Indians. I can't find any reference for this now though. The other meaning for the name, is a large wading bird, in fact the tallest in North America, a crane that makes a loud whooping sound and call. Therefore, the name Whooping Crane. There are now about 200 Whooping Cranes living in the wild, and just about 200 more in captivity. This is in part due to the success of conservation programs, and specifically the captive breeding, and reintroduction to the wild programs. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
Don't know if it is, check local game warden; give them a call. Better yet, why not leave them alone and enjoy them. First of all, they've been around longer than you have; they survive. Second, have you seen the birds that hand around McDonald's and other eateries? See how scraggly and dry they look, wasted and gaunt? People feed them their french fries and other junk that is served. That's what that stuff does to your body. Why do it to the birds? Why mess with mother nature and do the same to whooping cranes? Leave them alone; they're doing fine.
Cranes come in many weights, according to how large they are. A truck mounted Hiab can weigh less than 1,000 pounds. Large dockyard cranes will weigh thousands of tons.
Jib cranes are for industrial purposes so you should not require one on your house construction project. Jib cranes are mounted to a wall or floor-mounted pillar and use a pulley to lift loads with less effort than doing it normally.
