The whooping crane is a bird found in North America and is one of the most endangered bird species. They typically inhabit wetlands and marshes, although studies have shown that they may travel far beyond their regular territory during seasonal migrations. Despite its name, the whooping crane does not actually make a "whooping" sound; instead, it gives cultivated honks to communicate with other birds in its various colonies. Whooping cranes are omnivores and eat a variety of food from worms and fish to grains and rodents. The bird is known for its mating dances which the two birds do side-by-side while hopping or running around one another. Whooping cranes lay 2 eggs in a single clutch. Intense conservation efforts, inspired by the bird's dwindling numbers all over North America, aim to protect the bird until their population grows to sufficient numbers.
