Sarus Crane: An Eternal Symbol of Marital Fidelity
Journal Title: International Journal of Zoological Investigations - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Sarus crane is a resident species and found close to human habitation. This is a graceful and tallest flying bird. Pairing of the bird for life long and legendry marital devotion of the species has earned its global popularity. This water bird prefers open habitat like marsh areas, abundantly irrigated paddy fields, grass land and wetland. It has been categorised globally as 'vulnerable' by IUCN in its Red List because of its rapid population decline, which is projected to continue, as a result of widespread reductions in its wetland habitats. The cranes are well known for their faithfulness and living togetherness. The sarus crane pair is an eternal symbol of unconditional love, devotion and good fortune with high degree of marital fidelity as they mate for life.
