🐦Demoiselle crane

Anthropoides virgo (Linnaeus, 1758)

Der Jungfernkranich (Anthropoides virgo, Syn.: Grus virgo) ist die kleinste Art der Familie der Kraniche (Gruidae). Die Art ist ein Brutvogel der borealen Zone sowie der Steppen- und Wüstenzonen von Südosteuropa über Zentralasien bis in den Nordwesten der Mongolei und dem Nordosten Chinas. In Mitteleuropa ist der Jungfernkranich ein sehr seltener Irrgast. Anerkannte Wildvogelbeobachtungen gibt es beispielsweise für die Niederlande in den 1990er-Jahren.
