California Condor
Gymnogyps californianus
Critically EndangeredThe California Condor is a scavenging raptor-like bird of California, Arizona, Utah, Baja California, and reintroduction areas of western North America. It soars widely in search of carrion, helping recycle nutrients and clean landscapes by feeding on dead animals. It faces an extremely high extinction risk, so every remaining population and breeding site is important.
