The term "Urubu" refers to a type of vulture found primarily in South America. These birds are known for their scavenging habits, feeding on carrion and helping to clean the environment. Urubus have a distinctive appearance, characterized by their dark plumage and bald heads, which are adaptations for their feeding lifestyle. There are several species of Urubu, including the Black Vulture and the Turkey Vulture. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling disease spread and recycling nutrients. Urubus are often seen soaring in the sky, using thermal updrafts to glide effortlessly while searching for food.
