Himalayan Griffon
The Himalayan Griffon, also known as the Himalayan Vulture, is a large bird of prey found primarily in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas. It has a wingspan of up to 3 meters and is known for its impressive soaring abilities. This vulture primarily feeds on carrion, playing a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to dispose of dead animals.
These birds are characterized by their distinctive feathered necks and broad wings. The Himalayan Griffon prefers high-altitude habitats, often seen gliding over steep cliffs and valleys. Unfortunately, their population is threatened due to habitat loss and poisoning, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
