About These Birds
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
最大型猫头鹰之一。翼展近2米。低沉的鸣声可传至4千米外。顶级掠食者。
兀鹫
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.
