The Egyptian vulture is a medium-sized bird of prey found in parts of North Africa, Europe, and Asia. It has a distinctive white body with black wing tips and a yellow face, making it easily recognizable. This vulture primarily feeds on carrion, but it also consumes eggs and small animals. These birds are known for their unique behavior of using tools, such as stones, to break open eggs. The Egyptian vulture plays an important role in the ecosystem by helping to clean up dead animals, which can prevent the spread of disease.
