Whooping crane eggs are being transplanted to sandhill crane nests to take advantage of sandhill cranes' superior ability to rear crane chicks successfully in the wild. Sandhill cranes are better at defending nests from predators and teaching chicks essential survival skills compared to whooping cranes. This translocation strategy aims to boost whooping crane populations by increasing chick survival rates.
