A recently born whooping crane chick, a critically endangered species, walks in an enclosure at the Audubon Nature Institute's Species Survival Center in New Orleans, Thursday, June 21, 2018. Their numbers dwindled to 21 in the 1940s, including a handful in Louisiana. That’s grown to 670 today – about 510 in the wild, the rest in captivity. (Photo by Gerald Herbert/AP Photo)

A keeper wearing a “crane suit”, to resemble a parent whooping crane, feeds a recently born chick, a critically endangered species, with her hand in a puppet, at the Audubon Nature Institute's Species Survival Center in New Orleans, Thursday, June 21, 2018. To ensure the chicks don’t take to people, keepers wear the disguises to hide the human shape and obscure the face. The crane-head puppet with a moveable beak is carved and painted by a Japanese artist. (Photo by Gerald Herbert/AP Photo)





A recently born whooping crane chick, a critically endangered species, walks behind a keeper in a “crane suit”, designed to resemble a parent so it does not imprint on a human, in an enclosure at the Audubon Nature Institute's Species Survival Center in New Orleans, Thursday, June 21, 2018. “Whooping cranes are native to Louisiana. We used to have them here, all over the place, and most people don’t even know what they look like anymore, which is rather sad”, said Heather Holtz, a crane keeper at the center.
