A Real-life Griffon - a photo on Flickriver

            Rüppell's Griffon Vulture is a critically endangered vulture native to the Sahel region of central Africa. Their range extends throughout the Sahel region, where they can be found in grasslands, mountains, and woodlands. Once considered common in these habitats, the Rüppell's vultures are experiencing steep declines, especially in the Western portion of their range.  The current population of 22,000 is decreasing due to loss of habitat, incidental poisoning, and other factors.  They are relatively slow birds, cruising at 35 kilometres per hour (22 mph), but fly for 6–7 hours every day and will fly as far as 150 kilometres (93 mi) from a nest site to find food.  Adults are 85 to 103 cm (33 to 41 in) long, with a wingspan of 2.26 to 2.6 metres (7.4 to 8.5 ft), and a weight that ranges from 6.4 to 9 kg (14 to 20 lb).

Thanks very much for stopping by, and for your continued kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated.
