Description
A 21st Century Photograph of an East African Crown Crane taken at Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. The East African crowned crane is slate gray in color with an elongated neck and body. The primary and secondary feathers are dark gray to black with chestnut markings. The cheek patches are bare with white on the bottom and a small red patch on top. A large straw-yellow crown covers head. The male is slightly taller than the female.
While East African crowned cranes are not currently listed as a protected species, its populations are still vulnerable. The numbers and range of these birds have been reduced significantly over the last two decades. The principle threat these cranes face is the loss, transformation, and degradation of its habitat. Inefficient law enforcement and lack of long-term population monitoring leave the species in jeopardy.
WATERMARK WILL NOT APPEAR ON PRINTED PRODUCTS.
Photograph taken with a Nikon D3300.
