|  W H O O P I N G - C R A N EThe whooping crane, the tallest North American bird, is an endangered crane species named for its whooping sound. Along with the Sandhill Crane, it is one of only two crane species found in North America. The whooping crane's lifespan is estimated to be 22 to 24 years in the wild. There is an estimate of only 400+ left in the wild and 165+ in captivity Among the many potential nest and brood predators include American Black Bear, Wolverine, Gray Wolf, Red Fox, Lynx, Bald Eagle, and Common Raven. Golden eagles have killed young whooping cranes and fledglings. | |
