2) It has wide toes and long bare legs for walking and finding food.

3) It migrates away from tundra to escape the freezing winters.

4) They possess a sharp eyesight which helps in locating prey and predators.

5) An average wingspan of 230 cm greatly helps the crane during migration. The wingspan facilitates gliding where the wings do not need to be flapped frequently thus conserving energy and enabling the cranes to travel large distances without stopping.

The winters are cold in their native places: Russia and Siberia, so they fly east in search of warmer climate to survive]]> 2020-06-21 12:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Amogh2010/g6ac5eim0kccuaeg/wish/635019082 Amogh2010 https://padlet.com/Amogh2010/g6ac5eim0kccuaeg/wish/635021729 These birds are highly vulnerable mostly because their habitats are being captured by humans and they have been killed on their migrating route for enjoyment and their meat. Another reason is Climate Change.]]> 2020-06-21 13:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/Amogh2010/g6ac5eim0kccuaeg/wish/635021729 Amogh2010 https://padlet.com/Amogh2010/g6ac5eim0kccuaeg/wish/635029288 The status of this crane is critical and the world population is estimated to be around 3200–4000. The following steps need to be taken to save them from extinction:-

1) Use of satellites, drones for tracking their habitats and migration routes.
2) Raising awareness at community level to prevent their hunting
3) Improved water resource management at their breeding and feeding sites
4) Hunting should be punishable under suitable law.
5) Protect wetlands and minimize human activities.]]> 2020-06-21 13:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Amogh2010/g6ac5eim0kccuaeg/wish/635029288
