Hello! Yesterday was hyena day, today is vulture day. I'm splitting it this time into New World Vultures and Old World Vulures. The difference between both of them is that the New Wolrd ones are the kind you'd see in America (both North and South) and Old World Vultures are the sort you'd find everywhere else they live in. While vultures are known for having bald heads, this isn't something all vultures have, and they can in fact rock very different styles. Unlike hyenas, which vary in their habits, most if not all vultures hunt food down from weaker or sick animals. Their place as scavangers is highly important in the food chain, and they take up a valuable part of the ecosystem.

OLD WORLD VULTURES


bearded vulture


palm-nut vulture


griffon vulture


cinereous vulture


rüppell's vulture


hooded vulture

NEW WORLD VULTURES


black vultures


california condor


king vulture


andean condor


yellow headed vulture


turkey

BONUS


baby king vulture

And also, no spider pictures today but I do have one video link to a spider that's trying to threaten itself in the mirror. This tiny jumping spider is all sorts of confused while it's trying to pick a fight with itself.
