species name: viridi grus (commonly known as the key lime crane) based off: key lime pie and the sarus crane native to the united states of america, they were discovered in the 20th century and there are about 300 of them left. usually quiet animals, these cranes live in herds of six to eight. when one dies, the whole herd mourns and are tremendously affectionate towards the mate of the deceased. they are very protective of their babies because of their rarity and everyone in the herd celebrates when one is born. their life span is around 20 to 40 years in the wild. --- note: finally something other than a human!! who knew that this day would ever come :0 i'm pretty happy with how it turned out but if this is inaccurate don't kill me please ^^' also congrats on 1500+ followers! :^) --- credits! art: me species: me host of contest: @-hamstr song: love wave by lovewave
