Welcome back to another fun filled week of interesting animal facts.\u00a0 I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Today’s fact is going to be about another one of our feathered friends.\u00a0 My loving mother wanted to know about the Sandhill Crane and what is the point of having a son who runs a wildlife blog if he doesn’t answer your questions, right?\u00a0 So today we are discovering the most common of all the crane species.<\/p>\n

The Sandhill Crane can be found in North America and as far south as Mexico and Cuba. If you happen to live in the wonderful area of Siberia then you will also have a chance to see these beautiful birds up close.\u00a0 Interestingly enough a 10 million year old fossil was found and was identified to be structurally the same as today’s Sandhill Crane.\u00a0 This just means that if I lived 10 million years ago, I could still be writing a Wild Fact about this bird.\u00a0 I don’t think blogging was that popular back then but who knows.<\/p>\n

The Sandhill Crane is a large bird that can weigh up 6.5 kg (14 lbs) and has a wingspan of 5 to 6 feet. For the record their wingspan is about as long as me! If you are trying to catch a glimpse of these magnificent birds then I recommend you check out some local wetlands since they usually hang out there feeding on plants, insects, mice, worms and even snakes.\u00a0 Unfortunately, you can also find them in fields where they like to dig into the lush soil looking for food.\u00a0 Believe it or not, farmers don’t care for these large birds digging up their fields.<\/p>\n

If you are bored one night, I highly suggest you find a pair of cranes.\u00a0 I can guarantee you that they will provide plenty of entertainment.\u00a0 During mating season the two cranes will come together and perform an amazing duet.\u00a0 They will throw their heads back and put everything they can into their beautiful love song.\u00a0 To go with the singing they will also dance, run and leap high in the air.\u00a0 For the record, they will practice their dance moves all year long.\u00a0 Just to show you how much fun they are to watch, I have included a 5 minute video of a couple of dancing cranes.\u00a0 ENJOY!<\/p>\n
