A crane is a type of tall wading birds from the family Gruidae (order Gruiformes). There are 15 species in 4 genera. The tallest is the Sarus Crane,Grus antigone, which can grow to a height of up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft).
Cranes look a lot like herons but they are usually larger, and have a partly naked head, and a more heavy bill. When they are flying, their long neck is stretched out in front, and the legs trail out behind.
In China, the crane is observed as a key inspiration for martial arts- specifically kung fu. There are several styles of kung fu which take pugilistic inspiration from the movements of cranes in the wild- the most famous of these styles being Wing Chun, Hung Gar (Tiger Crane) and the Shaolin Five Animals style of fighting. Crane movements are well known for the fluidity and grace.
