Critically Endangered

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a shot of two vultures sitting on the ground by a kill. Here's another one sitting on a dead tree in the Serengeti.

A mature Rüppell's griffon vulture (Gyps rueppelli) is huge. Individuals like this can have a wingspan of 8 feet and live up to 50 years!

I know he's not very cuddly, but he needs help. This species is considered critically endangered.
