用英文介绍丹顶鹤,（外貌、习性、食物、能力、）及中文翻译
The Red-crowned Crane (Grus japonensis),also called the Japanese Crane or Manchurian Crane,is a large crane and is the second rarest crane in the world.(Chinese:丹顶鹤; Chinese:丹顶鹤; Hanyu Pinyin:Dāndǐng Hè; Japanese:丹顶 ,tancho; the Chinese character '丹' means 'red','顶/顶' means 'crown' and '鹤/鹤' means 'crane').In East Asia,it is known as a symbol of luck,longevity and fidelity.At 140-150 cm (55-60 inches) high,the crane does not make easy prey,for all that it stands out in its natural habitat of marshes and swamps.When it matures,the Red-crowned Crane is snow white with a patch of red skin on its head.This patch of skin becomes bright red when the crane becomes angry or excited.This species is the heaviest crane,typically 7.7–10- kg (17-22 lb),although large Sarus Cranes are taller.The maximum known weight of a male Red-crowned Crane is 15 kg (33 lbs）.
In the spring and summer,the Red-crowned Crane breeds in Siberia and occasionally in northeastern Mongolia (i.e.,Mongol Daguur Strictly Protected Area).Normally the crane lays 2 eggs,with only one surviving.Later,in the fall,it migrates in flocks to Korea,Japan,China,Taiwan,and other countries in East Asia to spend the winter.All Red-crowned Cranes migrate,except for a flock that is resident in Hokkaidō.
The crane eats small amphibians,aquatic invertebrates,insects,and plants that grow in marshes and swamps.
The habitats used are marshes,riverbanks,rice fields,and other wet areas.
Status
The estimated population of the species is only 1,500 in the wild.Nearly all of the Chinese population lives in the Yancheng Coastal Wetlands.
The National Aviary in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania ran a program where U.S.zoos donated eggs which were flown to Russia and raised in the Khinganski Nature Reserve and released into the wild.This program sent 150 eggs between 1995-2005.The program has been put on hold in order to concentrate on different crane conservation programs in Russia,such as education and fire suppression.
