An accident cost a foot of the male crane, although he finally recovered, he lost the ability to fly long distance. What it missed in exciting migratory journeys, it makes it up in the loyal love from its female companion and a secured permanent home with abundant food in Yancheng coastal wetland. Watch this episode to find out their love story.
