The White-naped Crane (Antigone vipio) is distributed in China, Japan, Mongolia, Korea, and other regions. Unlike the white-bodied common crane, it is called the White-naped Crane due to its grayish coloring. Regardless of sex, the body length is 119 centimeters, with a white head and neck and a gray body. Around April, they build nests on small islands near water and lay two eggs, living in family units in rice paddies, mudflats, and wetlands. In Korea, they are winter migratory birds, with approximately 300 individuals wintering in the demilitarized zone areas of Paju and Cheorwon. The White-naped Crane (Antigone vipio), with only 4,500 to 5,000 individuals remaining worldwide, is an endangered and rare bird species, thus being designated and protected as a natural monument.
