California Condor

Also known as California Vulture

With a massive nine-foot wingspan, California condors soar effortlessly on thermal updrafts over rugged canyons and coastal mountains. These majestic scavengers play a vital ecological role by feeding on large mammal carcasses, using their keen eyesight to locate meals from miles away. Highly social and long-lived, they form lifelong breeding pairs and raise a single chick every two years in remote cliff caves.
