White-backed vulture and giraffe carcass

A wake of vultures can strip over a hundred pounds of meat from a carcass. Featherless heads make it efficient for vultures to dig their heads deep into the carrion without having to deal with a mess afterwards.

Critically endangered, the African White-backed Vulture has suffered a severe decline of 81% of its population over the last 3 generations (approximately 39.7 years).
