@a.great.soul: 丹顶鹤 (Red-Crowned Crane) ✦ According to the rules of Linnaeus' biological taxonomy, objects can be named according to the names of people or places. Because the specimen was obtained from Japan by a German, it was eventually given the Latin scientific name “Grus Japonensis (Japanese Crane)”. This is also the reason why it was not elected as the national bird of China in the end. In Japan, its called “Tancho”, translated into Chinese is still “Red-Crowned Crane”. ✦ The hometown of the Red-Crowned Crane is the Songnen Plain in the southeast of Qiqihar City in the west of Heilongjiang Province, China, and the lake and swamp reed grassland in the lower reaches of the Wuyur River, the most famous of which is the Zhalong National Nature Reserve in Heilongjiang. This area is a rare waterfowl distribution area dominated by large waterfowl such as cranes, and it is also the largest breeding ground for Red-Crowned Cranes in the world. ✦ Red-Crowned Cranes migrate south from Northeast China without passing through South China, but use Kyushu and Honshu in Japan as their winter destinations. At that time, Westerners could only use Japan as a window to see this animal and named it "Japanese Crane". From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the Red-Crowned Cranes on Honshu Island in Japan became extinct. Some zoologists believe that this species became extinct in Japan, so it changed its English common name from Japanese Crane to Manchurian Crane. ✦ #🇨🇳 #丹顶鹤 #ChineseCulture
