Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2015 Protein electrophoresis of serum samples from endangered, wild whooping cranes ( Grus americana ) was performed to help assess the health of the only self-sustaining, migratory population in North America. Serum samples from wild adult cranes (n = 22) were taken at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, Texas, USA during winter. Wild juvenile cranes (n = 26)

We reviewed necropsy records of 124 Whooping Cranes (Grus americana) recovered following reintroduction of 268 individuals from 2001 to 2016 in the eastern US. Causes of death were determined in 62% (77/124) of cases facilitated by active monitoring that limited decomposition and scavenging artifact. The greatest proportions of mortality were caused by

Serum Biochemical Analytes and Trace Elements in Juvenile Whooping Cranes (Grus americana)
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2019Biochemical and trace element analyses of blood from wild Whooping Cranes (Grus americana) were performed to assess the health of the only self-sustaining, migratory population in North America. Juvenile cranes (n=31) approximately 49-70 d-old were sampled at Wood Buffalo National Park, Northwest Territories, Canada, in midsummer from 2010 to 2012 ...

The whooping crane (Grus americana) population of North America
Biological Conservation, 1974Abstract A model of the whooping crane population of North America shows that its rate of increase has been the result of a stabilized death rate, in spite of an overall decrease in the birth rate and no significant increase in the breeding population.

Head-bobbing is a common and characteristic behavior of walking birds. While the activity could have a relatively minor biomechanical function, for balance and stabilization of gait, head-bobbing is thought to be primarily a visual behavior in which fixation of gaze alternates with a forward movement that generates visual flow.

AbstractThe enteric flora of captive whooping cranes (Grus americana) and sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) has not been well described, despite its potential importance in the understanding of both the normal condition of the intestinal physiology of these animals and the altered colonization within disease states in these birds.

Population characteristics of the Whooping Crane, Grus americana
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1983The principal migratory population of Whooping Cranes is now increasing at an annual rate of about 4%, about twice the rate observed prior to the mid-1950's. Significant periodic fluctuations in total numbers overlay these average trends. These fluctuations can be explained by observed fluctuations in annual recruitment. On average, both the number of

Effects of rearing treatment on the behavior of captive whooping cranes (Grus americana)
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2004Abstract Small founder populations of whooping cranes are managed to maximize egg production for the purpose of reintroducing young to the wild. This results in an excessive number of hatched chicks that cannot be naturally reared by parents. Hand-rearing techniques have been developed to raise the additional hatches.
