Genus Crex is a taxonomical classification for a group of bird species commonly known as "Rails." Synonyms for this classification include "Crakes," "Moorhens," and "Gallinules." These species are typically small to medium-sized, with plump bodies, short tails, and long toes adapted for walking on marshy grounds. Due to their elusive nature and habit of hiding in dense vegetation, they are often difficult to spot and are more frequently heard than seen.

These fascinating birds play an essential role in wetland ecosystems and are crucial indicators of environmental health.
