Feathers of Fury - The Bone-Eating Daredevil Takes Flight!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, behold the majestic CAN-2680, also known as the Bearded Vulture or Lammergeier. With a wingspan that can reach up to an impressive 10 feet, this avian marvel is truly a sight to behold! Hailing from Spain, France, Greece, Turkey, Italy, and even Africa, these rare and declining creatures are making a comeback in the Alps after recent reintroduction efforts. But what sets them apart from other birds? Well folks, hold onto your hats because here comes the jaw-dropping part! As bone-eating specialists (yes you heard it right!), these daredevils have mastered the art of dropping carcass bones onto flat rocks from mid-air! Talk about precision skills! This clever technique allows them to break their meals into more easily swallowed pieces. Primarily dwelling in high mountain regions and nesting in remote rocky cliffs or caves (talk about exclusive real estate), they often engage in polyandry – quite progressive for our feathered friends! But wait there's more - did you know that their reddish coloration comes from bathing in iron-rich springs? Not only do they look fabulous but it may also confer status among their peers. So grab yourself a front-row seat to witness nature's ultimate scavenger extraordinaire - CAN-2680 takes flight with style and grace while feasting on carrion like no other bird out there!
