CAPE GRIFFON FIGHTING OVER FOOD Gyps coprotheres ©Laura Quick The average length of adult birds is about 96–115 cm (38–45 in) with a wingspan of 2.26–2.6 m (7.4–8.5 ft) and a body weight of 7–11 kg (15–24 lb). The two prominent bare skin patches at the base of the neck, also found in the white-backed vulture, are thought to be temperature sensors and used for detecting the presence of thermals.

CAPE GRIFFON Gyps coprotheres ©Laura Quick This is such vulture movement, the head down, wings out waddle. The average length of adult birds is about 96–115 cm (38–45 in) with a wingspan of 2.26–2.6 m (7.4–8.5 ft) and a body weight of 7–11 kg (15–24 lb). The two prominent bare skin patches at the base of the neck, also found in the white-backed vulture, are thought to be temperature sensors and used for detecting the presence of thermals. The species is the second largest raptors in Africa and is the third largest Old World vulture. #vulturewalk #waddle #capegriffon #capevulture #gypscoprotheres #©lauraquick #birdsofinstagram #africa #kleptoparasitism #birdsofprey #lazoo #glaza #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens #losangeleszoo #worldofbirds #beautiful #majestic #accipitridae #accipitriformes #endangered #kolbesvulture #vulture #carrion #southernafrica #africa #birdsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B82VIqEHNxw/?igshid=de52fb7imkum
