The Lammergeier, also known as the bearded vulture, is a large bird of prey found in mountainous regions of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is notable for its striking appearance, featuring a wingspan of up to 3 meters and a distinctive beard-like feathering under its beak. This bird primarily feeds on bones, which it drops from great heights to break them open and access the nutritious marrow inside. Lammergeiers are known for their unique nesting habits, often building their nests on high cliffs. They are social birds, sometimes seen soaring in pairs or small groups. Their conservation status varies by region, but habitat loss and poisoning pose significant threats to their populations.
