Description
A single species, the Wattled Crane.
Taxonomy
Bugeranus is a monotypic genus in the family Gruidae.
Grus vs. Bugeranus
Sibley & Monroe (1996) place the Wattled Crane (carunculatus) in the genus Grus. However, Howard & Moore (2003) and Clements (2007) separate it in the monotypic genus Bugeranus, and the Opus follows in this consensus.
