We describe a wing abnormality in a wild-hatched Whooping Crane () chick from the reintroduced Louisiana, US nonmigratory population. Despite its seemingly compromised flight ability, the chick fledged, reached independence, and lived until 13 mo of age. Necropsy revealed an axial malunion near the left carpus likely resulting from trauma.
我们描述了一只来自美国路易斯安那州重新引入的非迁徙种群、野生孵化的美洲鹤雏鸟的翅膀异常情况。尽管其飞行能力看似受损，但这只雏鸟成功羽化、实现独立，并活到了13个月大。尸检显示左腕附近轴向骨连接不良，可能是由外伤所致。
