The High-flying Rüppell's Vulture

Two Rüppell’s vultures on the ground.

I know that look. It’s how I feel when I’m hungry.

Actually, it's a pair of Rüppell's vultures (Gyps rueppelli). Despite their grumpy and low-down appearance, these guys can soar high. One confirmed sighting was at 37,100 ft, a world record in bird world.

Unfortunately, the poor chap didn't get a gold medal. Instead he was ingested by a jet engine.

Sigh.
