Bearded Vulture 'Gypaetus barbatus', II/A -Cites dd 09/03/2019

About the Item

A vulture is a scavenging bird of prey. The New World vultures are found in North and South America; Old World vultures are found in Europe, Africa, and Asia, meaning that between the two groups, vultures are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. A particular characteristic of many vultures is a bald head, devoid of normal feathers. Although it has been historically believed to help keep the head clean when feeding, the bare skin may play an important role in thermoregulation. Vultures have been observed to hunch their bodies and tuck in their heads in the cold and open their wings and stretch their necks in the heat. Vultures also keep themselves cool by urinating on themselves.
