Read the paragraph about the red-crowned crane and answer the questions.
In Chinese culture, the red-crowned crane has long been regarded as a symbol of happiness and good luck. It is one of the largest cranes in the world, standing at about 150 cm tall. The feathers of the bird are as white as snow, except for some black ones on its face, neck and wings. Its unique feature, from which it gets its name, is the bright red skin on the top of its head. The red-crowned crane is found in China, Russia, Mongolia, Japan and the Korean Peninsula. In China, it spends the warmer months in the rivers and wetlands in the north-east. When the weather gets cold, it migrates to east-central China. Its food includes fish, snails and water plants. It only breeds where the natural habitat is safe. Thanks to increasing protection measures, the number of red-crowned cranes in China is on the rise.

The Siberian crane is also known as the snow crane. It is about 140 cm in height, generally shorter than the red-crowned crane. Its feathers are nearly all snowy white except for some black ones that are only visible in flight. Its featherless face is reddish in colour. The Siberian crane is usually found in East Asia, where its numbers are known as the eastern populations. These migrate to China in winter. Other much smaller populations migrate to Iran in winter. The snow crane has a good and diverse appetite, including fish, insects, the roots and tubers of water plants and so on. In Chinese culture, the snow crane is a symbol of elegance, purity, good fortune and long life.
