The red-crowned crane is one of the largest cranes in the world, standing at about 150 cm tall. Its feathers are as white as snow, except for some black ones on its face, neck and wings. Its unique feature, from which it gets its name, is the bright red skin on the top of its head. The red-crowned crane is found in China, Russia, Mongolia, Japan and the Korean Peninsula. In China, it spends the warmer months in the rivers and wetlands in the north-east. When the weather gets cold, it migrates to east-central China. Its food includes fish, snails and water plants. The red-crowned crane is a symbol of long life and good luck in Chinese culture.
