Andean Condor

Vultur gryphus

Vulnerable

The Andean Condor is a scavenging raptor-like bird of the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela south to Tierra del Fuego. It soars widely in search of carrion, helping recycle nutrients and clean landscapes by feeding on dead animals. It is conservation-sensitive, with population pressure, restricted breeding sites, or habitat change affecting its future.
