This chick climbs onto its mother's back for a safe ride through the wetlands.
The Sandhill Crane is known for its strong family bonds. When young chicks become tired or face danger, they may ride on a parent's back while the adults guide them through marshes and shallow water.
A tender family moment in the wild, yet another reason these cranes are admired for their devotion.
