32nd member joins Whoopers Club in New Orleans
A newly hatched whooping crane, No 32, joins North America’s endangered flock at Audubon Park Zoo in New Orleans. The tiny crane emerged after a long pecking period, with its sibling No 31 hatched earlier. Parents Josephine and Crip remain the only captive cranes, part of a dwindling population that once included 28 others wintering in Texas. The species, the continent’s tallest bird, faces extinction due to hunting and low reproductive rates.
