The wattled crane (Grus carunculata) is a large, threatened species of crane found in wetlands and grasslands of eastern and southern Africa, ranging from Ethiopia to South Africa. Some authorities consider it the sole member of the genus Bugeranus .
A Wattled crane is diurnal and spends most of its day foraging. It has a long bill and digs into soft soils and wetlands to feed. These birds are gregarious outside of the breeding season and gather in flocks of 10 or more birds, sometimes as many as 89.
The Wattled Crane (Grus carunculata) stands as the largest crane in Africa and the second tallest crane species globally. With a stature ranging from 150 to 175 cm, it is also the tallest flying bird native to Africa, surpassed only by the ostrich.
