The Crane is the Old German, Kraen. Both the English and Old German names are a pictorial improving of the boisterous and merciless trumpeting tone, which is run of the mill for the European Crane. In French the crane is regarded as Grue, in Spanish Grulla and in Greek Gearanos.
Cranes are the Gruidae group of winged animals, which is part of the request Gruiformes. There are around 15 species of crane.
They are extensive, tall and predominantly physical winged creatures (ordinarily from 85 to 175 cm). With a long neck and long legs, they have a dexterous stature, with a mostly grey or white plumage, some having chestnut tones. They are to some degree comparable in manifestation to herons yet vary by the Crane's greater size and shorter bill. Some Crane species, for instance the Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) which is picured on this page have a fancy quill peak here where the head meets the back of the neck.
