The Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum gibbericeps) is found in the dry African savannah south of the Sahara, as well as in the wetter areas and grassy flatlands near lakes and rivers in Uganda and Kenya. The Crowned crane performs an interesting display when breeding that involves dancing, bowing, and jumping, as well as a booming call that involves inflation of a red gular sac on its throat (description from the Avian Phylogenomics Project http://gigadb.org/dataset/101017). This sample was collected by Mads Bertelsen from a female that lived at the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark and was procured by Tom Gilbert to generate a chromosome level reference assembly as part of the G10K-VGP and B10K Projects.
