Thanks Jakub. The english translation of the spanish common name of this species would be "japanese crane" even when they have more wide breeding range in maindland Asia than in Japan.
It's one of my favourite cranes too.
 
Actually, very relevant to this topic is the Ravensburger board game, "Wildlife Adventure" (Funagain Games: Wildlife Adventure (English language edition)). Have any of you played it? It's a great game for animal-lovers, especially lovers of rare animals. For me, when I'm touring a zoo, I always note when I'm seeing a "Wildlife Adventure animal", such as when I saw a Gyrfalcon at the Woodland Park Zoo.

By the way, a LOT of the animals being listed in this thread are in the game.
 
I've noticed vicuna in a couple of posts, when they are a common animal to be seen in a zoo within the UK. Why is it they are rare in North America?

I wouldn`t say they where common in the U.K as you can only see them at Belfast,Blackpool,Chester,Edinburgh,Marwell and Twycross which considering there are over 300 animal collections in the U.K its not that many.
