whooping cranes and Sandhill cranes

What is a crane?

Cranes are a family, Gruidae, of large, long-legged and long-necked birds in the order Gruiformes. There are fifteen species of crane in four genera. Unlike the similar-looking but unrelated herons, cranes fly with necks outstretched, not pulled back.


What is the difference?

from my point of view this bird is all white-skin with a red spot in the front of it head


Sandhill Cranes:
This bird, when being an adult, is usually grey but when being in their first years they are like brown.

But are great large neck birds, also they are helped by varius organizations. Both live aproximately 22-24 years in wild. Both puts two eggs but ussually one of  those two calves survive.
