 If sandhill cranes aren’t the oldest bird species on the planet, they are certainly in the running for one of the most ancient. Fossil remains of this 4- to 5-foot-high species with wingspans of 6 feet have been found that are over 10 million years old. These fossils show that the structure of the sandhill crane hasn’t changed in all that time. It has been theorized that all cranes are descendants of this species, Grus Canadensis.
