Description
TSURU (Crane): The Japanese red-crowned crane is considered a national treasure, appearing in art, literature, and folklore. The crane is regarded as
a symbol of good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years.
It also represents fidelity, as Japanese cranes are known to mate for life.
In the mating season, males do a ritual dance in which they bow their heads and flap their wings and leap up and down with their wings outstretched. Females sometimes start dancing and at times entire flocks dance for what appears to be the sheer fun of it. The leaping dance of red-crowned cranes can be both a courtship dance or a sign of aggression.
