About These Birds
buitre leonado
El buitre leonado es una de las aves voladoras más grandes de Europa y un carroñero fundamental en los ecosistemas mediterráneos. Estas aves sociales anidan en grandes colonias sobre acantilados y pueden planear durante horas aprovechando las térmicas sin apenas batir las alas. Las poblaciones de buitres sufrieron una crisis por el fármaco veterinario diclofenaco, que resultó letal al consumirse a través de cadáveres contaminados.
Pavo Real Común
El pavo real común es el pavo real más conocido, nativo del subcontinente indio, famoso por la espectacular cola con ocelos de los machos.
