Fun Facts for Kids

• 50 vultures can within 20 minutes reduce a sheep or impala carcass to skin and bones.
• Vultures are, in fact, very hygienic birds and will often gather in a large group around a favorite water hole to drink, bathe, and preen.
• 23 species of birds are known as “vultures”: 16 Old World birds from Europe, Africa, and Asia, and seven New World species (including two condors) in the Americas.
• Griffon vultures have a poor sense of smell and to locate food they rely exclusively on excellent eyesight – a soaring vulture is able to spot a 3-foot carcass from a distance of 4 miles.
• A group of vultures is known as a venue; when circling in the air, a group is called a kettle.

The Griffon vulture is a rare type of vulture eagle, with impressive size and up to a 3m wingspan, and is Europe’s second-largest bird. It is an Old World vulture and a member of the bird of prey family of Accipitridae. It can be seen majestically soaring on thermal currents searching for food in the warmer, rugged parts of countries that surround the Mediterranean. It has a distinguishing creamy-white ruff, matching the color of its head and neck. Its body and upper wings are pale brown, which contrasts beautifully with its other dark flight feathers and tail, the contrast being most noticeable in young birds, as their upper-wing feathers are particularly pale.
