Portrait in Profile of Lappet-Faced Vulture (B&W) at Zoo Atlanta, Georgia

Details best viewed in Original Size.

According to Wikipedia, the Lappet-Faced Vulture (also called Nubian Vulture) is a mostly African Old-World vulture belonging to the bird order which also includes eagles, kites, buzzards and hawks. This vulture occurs in the Sinai, the Negev desert, and probably north-west Saudi Arabia. It is not closely related to the superficially similar New World vultures and does not share the good sense of smell of some members of that group. The Lappet-faced Vulture is a huge species, ranking as the longest and largest winged vulture in its range and just behind the closely related Cinereous Vulture. They measure 37 to 45 inches (95–115cm) in body length, with a wingspan of 8.2 to 9.5 feet (2.5–2.9m).
