Vulture Pictures
Vulture pictures normally show these ugly birds jostling around a
carcass trying to get the best position to feed.But the popular belief that
vultures are reliant on the left-overs of predator kills is a myth.
They are supreme opportunists and will visit the site of a kill if there is
still food available but they mostly feed on the carcases of animals that have
died of old age or disease.
So if you see the typical vulture image of a group of them circling
lazily in the blue African sky, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a
hunter below with a kill.
