The Evolution and Biology of Condors and King Vulture| Symbols of the Land

Condors and the king vulture are fascinating birds soaring high above the land. They play an important role in the ecosystem, as scavengers. Take a look, as I dive into learning more about these highly unusual birds. Today, we will be covering the king vulture, Andean condor, and California condor. The other New World vultures were covered in a previous video. Previous New World Vulture video: All pictures attributed to Animal Analytics were taken by me personally. A full description of all others can be found in the following document, along with notable scientific papers I used when researching this topic.
