About These Birds

Emperor Penguin

最大・最重量のペンギンで、南極の-60℃の厳しい環境下で繁殖する。オスが卵を抱いて越冬する。

シロエリハゲワシ

The griffon vulture is one of Europe's largest flying birds and a crucial scavenger in Mediterranean ecosystems. These social birds nest in large cliff colonies and can soar for hours using thermals without flapping. Vulture populations faced a crisis from the veterinary drug diclofenac, which proved fatal when consumed through contaminated carcasses.
