Red-crested white crane hatched in Toyama from egg laid elsewhere

TOYAMA, Japan - A baby red-crested white crane hatched at the Toyama Family Park municipal zoo in Toyama, Toyama Prefecture on May 27 from one of two fertilized eggs laid at the Hamura municipal zoo in Tokyo. According to Toyama Family Park officials, this is the third successful case of red-crested white crane hatching in Japan from eggs laid elsewhere. The Toyama park has been trying to hatch red-crested white cranes but none of the eggs laid at the zoo was fertilized, zoo officials say. The egg that hatched was laid in April and sent to Toyama on May 15. The photo shows a crane tending the newly-hatched chick inside the Toyama zoo.
