Excellent is a vulture , scavenger Endangered Animals : California Condor by tempeste

Native Indians call them thunderbolts, they believe their huge black wings produce claps when they flap   After habitat loss, lead colic is the biggest culprit  for bringing this prehistoric  looking giant on the brink of extinction.   The poisoning occurs when it  consumes wildlife targeted  and killed by bullets.   It won't win any beauty contest but we need our feathered ally to carry on eating carrion to stop deadly diseases from speading.   Thanks to the San Diego Zoo recovery program, the magestic Condor soars once again in the wild there and yonder.     Author Notes
