A few days ago, the management staff of the conservation station of Jilin Momog National Nature Reserve found that a white crane was in an abnormal state during the daily patrol, and people could not fly away when they approached, so they immediately sent the white crane to the rescue center of the reserve.
After examination, the white crane has no trauma on the surface of the body, normal feces, no obvious diseases, light weight, can eat on its own, and the preliminary judgment is that weakness or hunger lead to a decrease in physical fitness and a decrease in the ability to fly.
After consulting experts from the Jilin Provincial Wildlife Rescue and Breeding Center, the stewards took quarantine feeding of the white crane and fed small fish, corn, carrots, cabbage, etc. as food supplements. After half a month of breeding and observation, the white crane recovered physically and in good mental condition, and experts believe that this white crane has the conditions for release.
The release work was highly concerned by the Jilin Provincial Wildlife Rescue and Breeding Center, and after the on-site guidance of the relevant person in charge and the field inspection of the researchers of the Momog Nature Reserve, it was decided to release the white crane into the wild after wearing a tracker. It is understood that there are nearly 300 white cranes and 400 gray cranes living and resting at the release site, with abundant food and little human interference, which is an ideal place to be released.
