He courtship-danced with a human-imprinted whooping crane named Tex so she would ovulate -- a 1980s method story, not a field census. A large share of the migratory island population winters on one Kyushu floodplain. Influenza years there are species-level events. Do cranes mate with a lifelong dance?
Pairs are typically socially monogamous. The dance is pair-bond and territorial display, not a fairy-tale wedding. Wintering red-crowned and white-naped cranes use the Civilian Control Zone. Peace-time development is a documented risk to that accidental reserve. Chicks imprint on humans and then fail to migrate or pair. Operation Migration ultralights (2001-2015) tried to teach a new flyway.
Is the Hokkaido tancho a separate species? No. The resident Kushiro group and mainland migratory birds are one species with different movement strategies. Crane is one of 24 types in this animals atlas. The pages treat it as a full system -- history, anatomy, operating principles, culture, icons, future pressure and market shape -- not a ranking of a best species.
The order on the card is year, line, figure. Crane is not sorted by how much visitors like the photo.2015
