Antigone (genus)

Antigone (bird)

Antigone is a genus of large birds in the crane family. White-naped crane and Antigone (bird) are Antigone (genus) and Gruiformes stubs.

See White-naped crane and Antigone (bird)

Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves, characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton.
