The Griffon Vulture is a large bird of prey found primarily in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It has a wingspan of up to 2.8 meters and is known for its distinctive brown plumage and bald head, which helps keep it clean while feeding on carrion. These vultures are social animals, often seen soaring in groups and nesting on cliffs.
Griffon vultures play a crucial role in the ecosystem by scavenging on dead animals, which helps prevent the spread of disease. They primarily feed on large carcasses, using their keen eyesight to locate food from great heights. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their habitats and populations.
