Bird with two faces
The extended tertials resembles the train of a dress which gives them an elegant look. The feathers on the side of the head can be raised during mating season and when tensed. This "second face" is reminiscent of a cobra.
Dancing connects
Crane pairs live monogamously and stay together throughout their lives. The strong company of the pair is reinforced by the typical crane dances. These can last for hours and encourage other cranes to join. This way, up to 60 pairs can dance simultaneously.
