Vultures are large birds known for their scavenging habits. They primarily feed on the carcasses of dead animals, playing a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to clean up the environment. Vultures have excellent eyesight, allowing them to spot food from great distances. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. There are several species of vultures, including the Turkey Vulture and the Griffon Vulture. These birds have unique adaptations, such as a bald head, which helps them stay clean while feeding. Vultures are also social animals, often seen in groups, and they communicate through various vocalizations and body language.
