Q:How would the environment, habitat, or ecosystem be affected if whooping cranes were extinct?

There would be no more whooping cranes for one thing. There would be a gap in the food chain and whet ever feeds off of them could go extinct if they have to have them. What ever the cranes ate might over breed if not held in check and if they are harmful might cause an epidemic that could upset the balance of power in the ecosystem of Florida. All this is speculation but anytime any species disappears it is gone forever and anything can happen.

Q:Does anyone know of any companies that sell mobile cranes suited for extreme cold? I'm aware of Liebherr and Havator's harbor cranes, but I can't find much else.Thanks

this is not my area of study but i will give you something to consider. if you are looking for a large capacity crane for use on permafrost, you wont find one. the pressure placed on the permafrost by large weights will cause it to melt. anything that is heavy, like a house, will sink in the tundra just like it will in a swamp. for houses they excavate the foundation a build a giant wooden raft that the hose floats on. in ST Petersburg, Russians preferred a mix of reeds and slave laborers corpses's to build the raft. as long as the ground is not frozen there is somebody how makes what you want. if the ground is frozen, you will only find small machinery. best of luck ps dont look to hard. lots of diesel engines work great at sub-subfreezing temps.

Q:Tiger=StrengthSnake=FlexibilityCrane=Balance and the last two are?

The traditional Shaolin animals were Tiger, Crane, Snake, Leopard, and Dragon. There are other animal systems used, including a few different Mantis and Monkey styles, as well as Dog boxing and Eagle Claw. Some systems, like Xing Yi, have sub-sets of other animals; I believe there are twelve in that system. According to Doc Fai Wong's Shaolin Five Animals Form, Crane was used for libido, Snake was used for Chi, Dragon was used for spirit, Leopard was used for tendon strength, and Tiger was used for strengthening the muscles and bones.

Costs would include the distance the crane travelled and also the size of the crane needed and it could start at $350 per hour up to $1000 although I'm sure those prices would include the drivers costs also.A quick look in your local yellow pages for crane hire firms and a few phone calls would give you a better idea.
