===Longevity=== This species could live up to 30 or 40 years of age.<ref name=Burton2002/> But the data on [[longevity]] (43 years) and [[life expectancy]] (12 years, N=7 cranes) were published with captive cranes.<ref name=Mitchell1911/> Common cranes living in the wild must show shorter lives. Successful breeders, the best subjects in the population, are guessed to live on average 12 years.<ref name=Wessling2021/> Unsuccessful breeding cranes, therefore, may have shorter lives. Elementary [[survival analysis]] with the Euring database<ref name=Euring2018/> reports a life expectancy at birth (LEB) of c. 5 years.<ref name=Bautista2021/> This LEB of 5 years was similar to that estimated for other crane species, as for example the Florida [[sandhill cranes]] (''G. canadensis'') (LEB = 7 years).<ref name=Tacha1992/> Reports of tagged common cranes have increased rapidly in the last decades.<ref name=iCORA2018/> Therefore, longevity and life expectancy at birth of wild common cranes will be updated.
