The Sarus Crane is easily distinguished from other cranes in the region by the overall grey color and the contrasting red head and upper neck.
Can be found in parts of the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Australia. They forage on marshes and shallow wetlands for roots, tubers, insects, crustaceans and small vertebrate prey.
