#Saruscrane pairs often make vocal calls together. One starts, generally the male, while the other finishes in a way that makes it hard to know when the vocal changeover has taken place. Sometimes, both start and finish together. Watch the full film: l8r.it/F8BM

Sarus Cranes are known for their loyalty to their partners throughout the lifespan & that’s how they make calls. ❤️
