Summary
[edit]DescriptionWhite-backed Vulture, Gyps africanus, at Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Northern Cape, South Africa. (46112754012).jpg |
The white-backed vulture is a typical vulture, with only down feathers on the head and neck, very broad wings and short tail feathers. It has a white neck ruff. The adultâs whitish back contrasts with the otherwise dark plumage. Like other vultures it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of animals which it finds by soaring over the savannah. It also takes scraps from human habitations. It often moves in flocks. It breeds in trees on the savannah of west and eastern and southern Africa, laying one egg. The population is mostly resident. |
