Details for Vulture

• Vulture

  Vultures are large, carnivorous or scavenging birds of prey that primarily feed on carrion (dead animals). They are found in most warm regions of the world, including numerous species across Africa. African vultures play a crucial ecological role as nature's clean-up crew, preventing the spread of disease by rapidly consuming carcasses. They are characterized by their bald heads and necks (to remain clean while feeding), powerful beaks, and broad wings adapted for soaring. Vultures have excellent eyesight for spotting carrion from high altitudes. Many African vulture species are critically endangered due to poisoning and habitat loss.
