Cranes are large birds with long legs and necks that eat fish, grain, and small rodents. They live in wetlands, swamps, grasslands, and mountains, and can have alligators, foxes, cats, wolves, eagles or bears as predators. Crane parents typically lay two eggs and raise one surviving baby that they care for until it develops.
