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.
águila volatinera
The Bateleur is an Endangered eagle of the family Accipitridae found in open savanna and woodland across sub-Saharan Africa. Weighing about 2,400g with an impressive wingspan of 100.1cm, it is distinguished by its extremely short tail and vivid red facial skin and bill. It soars for hours over vast distances, feeding primarily on carrion and occasionally taking live prey.
