Wandering Sandhill Crane Becomes Maryland Zoo’s Newest Addition

BALTIMORE (WJZ)–In Japanese culture, cranes are good luck.

Here in Baltimore, the Maryland Zoo just got some good luck in a new addition.

Gigi Barnett explains why his name is Garrett.

You could say the new Sandhill Crane at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is a little out of his element.

Taylor Zoghby, animal keeper at the zoo says, “they’re typically around Tennessee, West Virginia and west of there, through North America.”

But based on his appetite, he seems right at home.

Garrett is the zoo’s newest addition.
